NEW YORK, NY–( EMWNews – April 1, 2008) – Ear Storm/Atlantic Records has announced the

upcoming release of “IN SILICO,” the North American debut album from

Pendulum. Already a sensation in the UK and the band’s native Australia,

the album — highlighted by the single, “Propane Nightmares” — arrives on

these shores on May 13th.

The Perth-based outfit has been hailed for its hard-edged amalgamation of

drum ‘n’ bass beats, massive guitars, and powerhouse hooks. American

audiences will get their first sample of Pendulum’s brave new rock ‘n’ roll

when the band makes its U.S. live debut at the Coachella Valley Music and

Arts Festival on Friday, April 25th. Additional North American concert

dates will be announced shortly.

Pendulum’s new single, “Propane Nightmares,” will be available at all

digital retailers beginning on April 14th. The track’s companion video

clip has been named a MySpace Featured Video Exclusive, and can be viewed

at the band’s own www.myspace.com/officialpendulum page. The clip is

already featured as “Spanking New” across all MTV Networks in the UK.

A major UK tour is slated for May, with most dates already sold out.

Pendulum will then spend the summer rocking festivals all over the world,

including DJ sets at a variety of dance-oriented gatherings and full-band

extravaganzas at such internationally known festies as the UK’s annual

Reading & Leeds 2008, Download, Bestival and more (check www.pendulum.com

for complete tour information).

Since its formation in 2002, Pendulum has caused quite the stir in both the

hard rock and dance music communities around the world. The band’s 2005

debut, “HOLD YOUR COLOUR,” was an international breakout success, with UK

sales alone in excess of 225,000. Pendulum’s innovative sonic approach has

earned the band comparisons to such visionary artists as Led Zeppelin,

Queens of the Stone Age, and Tool.

“Granite,” a featured track on “IN SILICO,” proved a true sensation upon

its release as a single last November. Fueled by major BBC Radio airplay,

the track topped the UK’s Dance chart while also reaching the top 30 on the

overall Singles tally.

Pendulum also earned a barrage of critical approbation. “Pendulum are only

expressing what lies at the heart of many a fan of harder dance music — a

secret love, past or present, of heavy rock,” noted DJ Magazine, while the

Sun praised the band as “the Prodigy for the Noughties.” Q Magazine

agreed, declaring, “There’s a strong whiff of vintage Prodigy about this

bullish Aussie dance crew with a serious guitar fetish.” No less an

authority than the venerable Kerrang! summed it up: “Pendulum have that

intriguing cross-over appeal that will make them superstars.”

guitar, producer, DJ * Perry ap Gwynedd – guitar * Paul ‘El Hornet’ Harding
