The band from Glasgow burst onto the world stage with their second single Take Me Out which was released in 2004. Their self-titled debut album became an indie classic.

The band went on to have further success with You Could Have It So Much Better (2005), Tonight: Franz Ferdinand (2009), Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action (2013).

The band then had some lineup changes. The original members were Alex Kapranos, Nick McCarthy, Bob Hardy and Paul Thomson. In 2016 McCarthy left the band, and they expanded to a five piece with the addition on Julian Corrie and Dino Bardot.

After the line up change they put out 2018’s Always Ascending. In 2021 Paul Thomson left the band and was replaced by Audrey Tait.

This year the band shared their most recent work The Human Fear.
