Franz Ferdinand Essentials

Franz Ferdinand Essentials

Rising out of Glasgow in 2002, Franz Ferdinand helped push indie rock straight onto the dance floor with jerky post-punk moves, euphoric disco beats and some serious art-pop swagger. Led by the charismatic Alex Kapranos—who shares a hint of Jarvis Cocker's flamboyant spark—the band can shake up a stadium with raucous dance-rock anthems like "Take Me Out" and "This Fire", ignite mojos with sexed-up dub-punk for the club with "Katherine Hit Me" and electrify minds with the buoyant rocker "Lucid Dreams", which melts into a sizzling slice of acid house.
