No Binary Records an independent, hybrid label that is best described as genre non-conforming, a label that doesn't believe in labels, is proud to bring their latest release, 'Quiet, Please', the Library's debut album. Infusing elements of Prog with their Punk riffs, film industry regulars Siddharth Basrur and Vishal J Singh have put together their creative minds in harmonizing two opposite styles of music.

Composed of two extremely versatile musicians Vishal J Singh and Siddahrth Basrur, The Library is a two piece punk rock band with a twist. Siddharth brings in a 90s alternative rock, grunge and punk aesthetic as a songwriter and guitarist, while Vishal comes from a multi-genre music background with progressive rock and avant garde as core influences. Former roommates and best friends, the two came up with "The Library" while listening to punk and prog records and recording music in Siddharth’s apartment. 

The Library’s debut album mixes punk rock with elements of Prog, combining two styles of music generally considered incompatible. Punk consists of simple melodic riffs and literal lyrics, brimming with power and aggression. Prog embraces complexity through intricate guitar solos and odd time signatures. The two sentiments are quite opposite and usually at odds with each other. 'Quiet, Please' is a statement from the two-piece act, proving that Prog's controlled complexity can actually complement the rebellious and hard-hitting Punk attitude.

Contrasting elements in ‘Quiet, Please’ represent the twists and turns of life revolving between order and chaos.  The album is a fluid soundtrack for everyday life, and the absence of lyrics leaves the songs open to the listener’s interpretation. Simple melodies and Punk riffs blend seamlessly with the odd time signatures and Prog style beat shifts.

With their different tastes and preferences, fans of the two genres rarely come across any meeting point. Crafted by the duo, here  is a composition that is accessible to both sides, a hybrid that makes it possible to enjoy Punk and Prog at the same time.

“I see it this way - there are always ups and downs in everybody's life and one simply cannot ignore it. We kept the songs instrumental (considering the fact that we both can sing and play) with a vision that everybody's graph of life isn’t the same. One man's cake is poison for the other. Similarly, the instrumental nature of our songs is not limited to just one story. In fact, in many stories, The Punk element symbolizes the don't-care-what-others-think in life attitude while the Prog element symbolizes the let-me-think-and-find-a-solution temperament in life. Combined, they symbolize "Freedom" and "Being Forever Young and Alive.” says Vishal J Singh about the album.
