Positive or negative, Pendulum are causing reactions. And reactions are what makes music evolve.
Haters just love to hate, so ignore them.
That comment really pushed my button.
This isn't DOA.
You don't hear Hype, Grooverider, Andy C or Noisia slagging off Pendulum.
Pendulum is drum and bass.
Drum and bass isn't just what those who spend too much time saying clownstep on the internet label d&b (they would narrow drum and bass to about 10% of what the music is - condeming it to stagnation and death).
Its also atmospheric drum and bass.
Jump up drum and bass.
Neurofunk drum and bass.
Darkside drum and bass.
Old skool drum and bass / jungle.
Ragga jungle.
Trancestep drum and bass (shudder).
Liquid funk drum and bass.
Its all drum and bass.
Pendulum are certainly pushing this music forward, a lot more than most of those tweaking frequences in clouds of ganja smoke. It will evolve and change and go in new directions (as it did when rave -> jungle, jungle -> drum & bass).
Its not a direction that people who value d&b because of its underground status can accept but back in the day jungle was poised to take over the airwaves (and to some degree did for a while).

Pendulum is drum and bass.
(ed note: Pendulum) is about as far from being jungle as i am from being 50 cent.
Heres my logic:
A). I hate clownstep.
B). Pendulum is clownstep.
This must mean that...
C). I hate Pendulum. I do not hate DnB.
Clownrider, DJ Hype, etc.... do not diss Pendulum because they are clownstep DJs. They turned their back on DnB the moment they piled out of their DOA clowncar. If they dissed pendulum they would be burning their bridges. Then how are they going to get their fresh clown dubs across the river of clowns while waring clown shoes so they can visit clarabell?
P.S - How ya doing buddy!?
it was kinda depressing at the same time. why am i still in sleepy perth? as soon as i get my degree im jumping a plane to a gig like that.
man that drummer would be exhausted by the end of the set!
well done boys. please please please bring the drum kit with ya when you come home for new years.
Clownstep haters make me
