Frans Ferdinand

[Buttermilk]

Does anyone have any info on this band?

All I know is they're Glaswegians and they have quite an interesting sound.

I highly recommend Franz Ferdinand, the cd is the best thing I've heard all year. The entire cd is great from start to finish, the first single "Take me out" is getting alot of play on the indie stations where I live. I'm sure their website has samples of the songs from the album check out Jacqueline/Dark of the Matinee/Cheating on You/Come on Home. Those are my personal favorites from the cd. I don't know what sound or genre you'd lump them into, but I think they have a refreshing sound in comparison to what fills the radio now days.

They have huge underground buzz just recently, which is slightly upsetting the fact that they get Viacom play, but whatever. I don't dig them, but that's just me.

And allmusic is such a wonderful resource.

Spin magazine thinks they are pretty hot. They said that they were one of the best shows at South By Southwest in Austin Texas (out of 1000 some bands).

Franz Ferdinand are riding a wave of great popularity at the moment in the UK. I actuall saw them live last year when they were supporting another band I was seeing. Their album is worth definately worth a listen.

The only thing that bothers me (as it did with The Strokes) is that they have a very distinct style and sound which could go out of fashion very quickly. As always the all imporant 2nd album will be a more sure test of their quality.

I remember watching an interview with them. They talked about making music people can dance to, even on their concerts. But that's about everything I know about them..

 

[Buttermilk]

I heard today that they are doing well in America

 

[twosteppin]

yeah they are doing well here, "take me out" is played all the time, but thats ok, cause its a great song. Their video is played on tv daily.

 

[DMBfanLongliveStrongBad!]

their song "take me out" sound exactly like "trampled underfoot" by led zeppelin

seriously, listen to trampled underfoot.
