Pendulum plan to work on side projects before new album
Pendulum have told Newsbeat they plan to work on side projects before starting on their fourth album.
Bassist Gareth McGrillen said: "We're going to force ourselves to take a break for a while, so we don't go too mental." He added that the band had "a lot of ideas" for a new record, but would work on side projects for a while instead. "There's always pressure to succeed, that's part of why we're taking a break," he said. "We are doing lots of side project stuff, all the kind of music that wouldn't really be relevant to Pendulum. 'Doing dubstep' "Rob [Swire] and myself are working on a vehicle for that, we're calling it Knife Party. "Ben [Mount] is doing dubstep, Kev [Sawka] is doing dubstep. "Ben has got a label called Crunch Recordings - and Perry [ap Gwynedd] is working with different bands as well. "The great thing about Pendulum is we all have our things going on but we all come together, it's like a hub," he added. The band spoke to Newsbeat at the T in the Park festival, where they headlined the Radio 1/NME stage on Friday 8 July.
