It was about time they made a new album! Following a small break (which was revealed this year by the band’s frontman Alex Kapranos) FF are back with the amazing “Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action”. So, it was also about time that we wrote something about them too! Here, you can read 8 reasons why we love Franz Ferdinand!
1. They make incredibly catchy songs with great melodies. It’s hard not to fall in love with any FF song. From the legendary “Take Me Out” riff that gets stuck in your mind forever to their new single, "Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action" chorus.
2. They don’t exaggerate on instrumentation. You will never hear any “noreasontobethere” guitar solo. Magic moments in music usually come from “keeping it simple” songs!
3. They have a great sense of style. We have seen many bands and artists failing tragically while trying to be cool. Franz Ferdinand have always been well dressed, drinking classy red wine and singing about it. Perfection!
4. They haven’t made a bad record! Most of the modern indie bands fail to follow up their over-hyped debuts. The worst thing is, that most of the time these bands make records that are not even bad, they just have no reason being on the record shop’s self! That has never happened for Alex Kapranos and Co. They always take the time to write new material and they don’t just release records just for the sake of it.
5. They make extremely arty and amazing video clips. Especially their new ones are pieces of art on their own!
6. Their live shows are full of energy and fun! If you have attended a FF show, you know what we are talking about.
7. Cover art on their releases is ART!
8. Last but not least. There is a great chance that they are the best band in the world right now!
