Hold Your Colour is the debut full-length album by British/Australian drum and bass band Pendulum. The album was mastered by Stuart Hawkes at Metropolis in London. It was released in 2005 and reissued in 2007 by Breakbeat Kaos. The album cover inspired the single cover for later Pendulum release "Witchcraft".
This album features collaborations with artists such as the DJs Fresh and TC, the MCs $pyda and Fats, vocalists from bands Freestylers and Halogen, and guitarists from bands Karnivool and Concord Dawn, together with Peredur ap Gwynedd.
Five singles were produced from the album, including "Slam" / "Out Here", the first single by Pendulum to reach the top forty in the UK Singles Chart. In addition, a non-album single, "Blood Sugar" / "Axle Grinder", released on 18 June 2007, later replaced "Another Planet" and "Still Grey" on the reissue of Hold Your Colour due to its popularity.
Otherwise, the LP was released as a triple 12", and features, together with Hold Your Colour, all the tracks that did not appear on any single. A promotional LP contained also "Slam / Out Here".
"Hold Your Colour (Bipolar Vocal Mix)" is the fifth single taken from Australian Drum & Bass band Pendulum's debut album Hold Your Colour, and their eighth single overall. It was released as a double A-side by Breakbeat Kaos on 6 March 2006 in the UK. The single features two tracks from the album – a remix of "Hold Your Colour" and "Streamline". The song "Hold Your Colour" features guest guitarist Andrew Goddard and bassist Jon Stockman of Perth band Karnivool. The Bipolar mix of "Hold Your Colour" was featured on the soundtrack of FIFA Street 2. According to Rob Swire, the intro vocal sample in "Hold Your Colour" ("Soaking through...") was taken from a track by Rob, Pendulum member Gareth McGrillen and ShockOne's old band Xygen. The track was titled "Lycaeum". Some lyrics from "Lycaeum" were used in Hold Your Colour.

Soaking through
Comes and holds itself against the wall
Soaking through
Comes and holds itself against the wall
Hold your colours against the wall,
When they take everything away,
Hold your colours against the wall
Soaking through
Hold your colours against the wall,
When they take everything away,
Hold your colours against the wall
Soaking through
Ahhh, she looked into your eyes,
And saw what laid beneath,
Don't try to save yourself,
The circle is complete,
We're reaching out and to tell you,
Nothing else can touch me
Soaking through
Hold your colours against the wall,
When they take everything away,
Hold your colours against the wall
Soaking through
Ahhh, she looked into your eyes,
And saw what laid beneath,
Don't try to save yourself,
The circle is complete
Fading gently,
Soaking through,
We're reaching out and to take you,
Nothing else can touch me
Soaking through
Hold your colours against the wall,
When they take everything away,
Hold your colours against the wall
Soaking through
Hold your colours against the wall,
When they take everything away,
