Pendulum - Hold Your Colour: Wikipedia Album Entry

Hold Your Colour is the 2005 debut album by Pendulum. The album drew very positive critical attention in both the United Kingdom and Australia, becoming one of the best selling drum and bass albums of all time. It was reissued July 16, 2007 with the new single, "Blood Sugar / Axle Grinder", taking the place of "Another Planet" and "Still Grey". On May 25, 2008 it entered the top 40 of the UK Albums Chart for the first time, peaking at number 35.

The album features collaborations with The Freestylers, Fats & TC, Jasmine Yee and Fresh, $pyda & Tenor Fly. The album's title track features guitar and bass by Drew Goddard and Jon Stockman of Perth band Karnivool.

"Slam" was featured in the soundtrack for the video game MotorStorm on the Playstation 3 console, Dance Dance Revolution Universe on the Xbox 360 console and on the premier episode of Sky One's Gladiators. It has also been picked up by the relaunched "Nine's Wide World of Sports" as an outro to the show and as a precursor to advertising breaks. Recently, the track "Tarantula" was featured in the Australian television drama series Underbelly and the target render trailer for MotorStorm: Pacific Rift. The same song also features in an episode of the UK series Skins.

Most tracks came from singles. "Slam" and "Out Here" from Slam/Out Here - Single, "Tarantula" and "Fasten Your Seatbelt" from Tarantula/Fasten Your Seatbelt - Single, "Still Grey" from Back 2 You/Still Grey - Single, "Another Planet" from Another Planet/Voyager - Single and "Streamline" as a B-Side to the Hold Your Colour (Remix) - Single.
