Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand

Named after the Archduke of Austria who’s assassination sparked World War I, Franz Ferdinand popped on the scene rather unexpectedly. They’ve got a funky Alternative Rock sound which emulates a lot of the bands from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. The drums pop, the bass bumps, and the guitar licks are incredibly catchy. I could listen to them all day.

Sure some of their songs are about gay dudes dancing so sexy in the club, but if I let that get to me I’d have to take the whole of 80’s New Wave music and throw it in the garbage. Franz Ferdinand is an incredible debut. (Yes I’ll probably say that every time.)
