The Australian electro rockers Pendulum have announced that they have split up. Band's frontman Rob Swire tweeted via his official Twitter account following:
He has decided to focus on his current project Knife Party only. He said in a recent interview with Australian radio station Triple J:
"The Knife Party thing is going so well we don't really feel like going back to junior school anytime soon. "We're having too much fun with this project. It's also great because Pendulum towards the end sort of felt like we were doing it because we had to and that's never a fun way to do music. Whereas Knife Party is pretty much solely us doing what we want to and if no one likes it we don't care."

Well, it really looks like they are really over. The band released three studio album during their 10-year existence and each year played the biggest festivals during the summer. Last year they played 30 shows during the summer. I even got to see them last year at Rock for People. Even though they are not really my cup of coffee, the show was pretty great.
Even though the band is over, Pendulum will continue as a DJ project of Paul "El Hornet" Harding and Ben "The Verse" Mount. However, DJ set and Live band are incomparable.
