Franz Ferdinand are splendid. i dunno why we didn't mention them in the Indie Topic..
hmm..
anyways, i LOVED their debut album. couldn't stop listening to ti for a while. although their second album has more songs, the first album is just...awsome. lyrically AND musically.
you could literally dance to every one of those songs. and 'Jaqueline' has the BEST guitar hook since ever. that song is just love, seriously.

I haven't had the great chance to see them live, although they do look like heaps of fun live. their DVD is pretty stunning, with lots of live footage. anyone seen them live? feedback? are they really THAT awesome?

i'm hoping for a new album out this year (?) ... i dunno, just speculating, but it would be great if they did release one.

YAY. yes i read something on the NME website about them previewing a new single.. it should sound super.

missdevotional: i think you may be talking about Kaiser Chief's 'ruby' song.. =]

Franz Ferdinand were pretty huge when they first started. 'take me out' was a good first single.
not saying they're not huge now, but i think they over-hyped 'take me out' too much and played it farr too much on radio that people got sick of it.
its so disappointing when stuff like that happens, because you know the band has soo much potential.

Yay Franz Ferdinand! <3
One of the best bands to come out recently. Hurray for the revival of the new wave sound. I just re-listened to their first album. "Come on Home" is a PERFECT song. Ahh, so good.

And I heard that thye got Girls Aloud to do backing vocals on a song. Which is awesome, because I've just discovered the awesomeness of Girls Aloud too.

They totally need a new album out. The summer can't come soon enough!

the frontman is going out with the girl from Fiery Furnaces (i think that's the band)...
although i haven't heard of him being bi.
he has impeccable fashion sense though.
apparently noel fielding punched alex kapranos' girlfriend in the face... i heard it on Never Mind The Buzzcocks.. mellow.gif

Ohh, I love the Franz! They were such a new sound to me when my virgin ears heard their first album. I really love their approach to music.

From 'Franz Ferdinand,' try: "This Fire," "The Dark of the Matinee," and "Come On Home."
From 'You Could Have It So Much Better,' try: "Outsiders," "You Could Have It So Much Better," "This Boy," "I'm Your Villain," and "The Fallen."

Alex is such a good-looking man, as my icon confirms.
