The Difference is the first full-length release from UK skate punk band Pendleton.

It was released on 1 July 2008 by Angry Penguin Records.

The Difference was recorded at NADA Studios in New Windsor, New York with producer John Naclerio, famed for working with bands such as My Chemical Romance, Senses Fail, Bayside and Brand New.

[2] Despite the success of the band's previous release, You, by Us and the high-profile production of The Difference, the band parted ways soon after the release of the album.

Whilst no statement has been forthcoming from the band as the reasons behind the split, several line up changes occurred immediately prior to the recording of The Difference (particularly the departure of original frontman Mike Hayes).
