Artist Biography

Franz Ferdinand are a rock band from Glasgow, Scotland. The band's eponymous debut album released in 2004 debuted on the UK album charts at number three, and won the 2004 Mercury Music Prize. So far, the band has released nine singles of which Take Me Out, Matinée, and Do You Want To were top 10 hits in the UK.

The band followed the album up in 2005 with their album You Could Have It So Much Better, from which Do You Want To, Walk Away, the double A-side EP The Fallen / L. Wells, as well as Eleanor, Put Your Boots back on, have all been lifted as singles (although L. Wells was not included on the album).

They are influenced by 1980s post-punk, garage rock and new wave and are currently exploring the world of hip hop for inspiration on how to improve their production techniques.
