FTTW 'All aglow in what they know' - by Jon Monsoon

Life for Durban-based band Fire Through The Window is certainly an exciting place to be right now. Having gone from being something of a hobby/side project for co-singer Marc de la Querra and his long-time girlfriend Sinead Dennis, to being a band on the road with a single riding up the national radio charts, being in demand with the press and developing a terrific live stage act in under twelve months, has certainly taken some getting used to for the couple and their band.

FTTW began with Marc (who at the time was in alternative band Nemesis Army) sitting down to pen some pretty, dreamy, romantic, yet catchy if not cheesy, pop love songs to girlfriend Sinead. he then discovered that his girl had quite a voice of her own and so they sat down to write together. Deciding to record them, just for fun, they were quite surprised when witchdoctor Records label boss Shaughn Pieterse suggested he sign them up and release the work of songs they had just recorded!

They laughingly agreed and were then faced with thw prospect of doing live shows, together as a band. 'Sinead was a bit of a nervous performer, in the beginning', tel
