Originally a two-piece, they recorded their first album 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 4 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.

Now in 2009 with a new full band and a new label, they have released their second album, which includes selected singles from the original album. “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 won’t be being made anymore 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. After listening to the album it appears to be a wise move as the tracks have been breathed new life and kick some serious ass.

So put on your dancing shoes, grab your significant other, down a few red bulls and prepare yourselves for FTTW round two.

It’s energetic, it’s fun, it’s good times, it’s a cold vanilla cone on a hot summers day. It’s Fire Though The Window and it’s out now.

"Hot new Durban rock sensation FIRE THROUGH THE WINDOW combine the ska-infected punk of The Clash and the vintage garage pop of The Buzzcocks with the contemporary indie stylings of Interpol, Broken Social Scene and The Arcade Fire to create a sweatily infectious sound that is entirely their own."
- The Mail & Guardian

"Fronted by Sinead on vocals, with just one guitar, bass and drums, they create a lovely bed of noise pop over which they have draped super sweet melody lines and harmonies. Pulling their punches and using clever song-writing, a crafty use of dynamics and a strong sense of irony instead of sheer grunt, Fire Through The Window have created a rare gem: a band that is truly pop, radio friendly and accessible without being crap, dull and boring."
-David Chislett (www.thechiz.co.za)

"Maybe it’s the fact that they’re local, and have built up quite a head of steam as they’ve shunted to prominence in the last 6 months, maybe it’s the fact that all the band members have, at some stage, been in other Durban bands, or maybe it’s the resonance their sound has with the previously mentioned SoCal surf sounds. Maybe it’s just the disarming perky charm of foxy lead singer Sinead and her rather Frank Black-ish partner in rhyme, Marc. Who can say? The crowd at the Willowvale, that’s who – they bounced, they howled, shit – they sang along to every chorus. FTTW, they’re not rock in the sense of thrash and they’re not pop like the candyball cheese that gets lapped up by pre-pubescents on MTV. They’ve a sound and lyric something like The Beautiful South, which bears comparison on the grounds of the call-and-response of the lead duet, but also because of the upbeat licks and straight-down-the-line rhythms and beats. Which is fair enough, because the combo works, and Stone City punters, they smaak them lank."

"Simple, playful rock with enough naive sincerity to melt PW Botha's heart."
