They were signed to Angry Penguin Records in the US, and Bells On Records in Europe and Japan.
History
You, By Us
Pendleton were formed at the University of Salford in 2002, and spent several years honing their sound and self-releasing their own material. Although previously adherents to the DIY punk ethic Pendleton eventually released their debut EP 'You, by Us' in the UK in August 2006 on (the now defunct) Distort Manchester Records. The release garnered some critical acclaim with punk music website Punktastic.com describing Pendleton as "the best skate punk band in the UK".
A video for the song "Falling Apart to Double Time" was released at the same time as the EP, and was played on rotation on MTV2, notably on the 'Headbangers Ball' show presented by Jamey Jasta of Hatebreed.
