Ex Libras
OnlinePrintRadio
Ex Libras are Amit Sharma (guitar, vocals), Kieran Nagi (piano, bass) and Ross Kenning (drums). The band started in the unlikeliest of musical hotspots, Hounslow Borough Library, where they worked together. Soon after meeting, they were swapping music and jamming. The boys describe their first few practices as “quite out there” amalgamating their love of rock with loops, noise and beats.Ex Libras’ influences are as varied as their music. The boys share a love of hip-hop, orchestral music, electronic music, funk, jazz - “alternative music with groove,” say the band. Ex Libras are a band that know no boundaries. Live, the band performs with a passion that will make your heart skip a beat; audiences are quickly captivated with the band’s melodic finesse that remains unparalleled amongst their piers.
The boys released free download single Radar on Wirebird records on 26th October 2009 and their debut album Suite(s) shortly after on 30th November 2009. Suite(s) was recorded live in a garden shed (Ex Libras’ studio and HQ). This debut effort is the combined imagination of the band, taking their initial steps into recorded sound. Suite(s) perfectly encompasses Ex Libras’ melodic sensibilities, experimenting with hypnotic beats, sampling and devastatingly heavy rock blowouts that entwine harmonically haunting vocals and gorgeously intricate piano parts.

Underachiever is the second single to be released from Ex Libras’ incredible, critically acclaimed debut album. The single is out May 10th 2010 on the band's own Wirebird label and it follows a natural progression from their debut single Radar. Underachiever is the sound of a band mature beyond their years, certainly destined for a bigger audience.
