Biography:

Durban based pop/rock band, Fire Through The Window, have released the highly anticipated follow up to their 2007 eponymous debut album. The band’s sophomore effort, entitled “Hey!”, contains eleven newly recorded tracks, a handful of which were singles from the original release. “Sinead and I recorded the first album in a couple of weeks, never expecting it to be released, I even played the drums on the album! Now that it’s no longer available we felt it necessary to include some of the tracks on the new album, re-recorded with the full band so that people get to hear them and they don’t disappear entirely” says Marc De La Querra, band co-founder.

“Hey!” takes you on a journey through the lives of co-vocalists and couple, De La Querra and Sinead Dennis, touching on themes of growing up, life, love and the mid-twenties. The album contains more hooks than Peter Pan ever saw and is guaranteed to have you humming along to the tunes, foot tapping to the beats and hitting play again immediately after the first listen.

Originally a two-piece, Fire Through The Window recorded their first album in 2007 on a whim as a pet project, only to be greeted with unexpected success. Their first single “Just Like You Are” was selected as the official song and video of the Apple iPod Nano television campaign and went all the way to the top 10 of national charts, securing them four national tours in 2008 and slots at festivals like Splashy Fen, Oppikoppi, Rocking The Daisies and Woodstock. Shortly after, their label at the time closed its doors and effectively their album became limited edition.

The band have just completed the music video for the first single, “Do Do Do”, and will be continuously moving around South Africa in the next few months promoting the new album. Collectively the full band contains massive amounts of experience with Marc being the ex Nemesis (later Nemesis Army) frontman and Peter, the lead guitarist, having been a key member of the original Love Jones lineup.
