Within their first album, many of the tracks were overshadowed by “Take Me Out” even though the whole work posed some of the best elements that a seasoned music appreciator would adore. Franz Ferdinand’s frantic punk-rock, disco-infused roots have traveled with their music through time and unlike other bands that found their beginnings in the early 2000’s (lookin’ at you Fall Out Boy), Franz has been able to keep that factor alive in their music without sacrificing good taste. The band has done the nearly impossible job of keeping a consistent, catchy feel to their material, as well as evolving into the times and needs of their fans. Setting aside their most well-known songs, Franz Ferdinand’s other works and overall style have been extremely underrated. Despite not carrying the same weight as the previously mentioned track, “No You Girls” uplifted the band out of the realm of one-hit-wonder-dom. The album was most likely granted that accolade because of its most famous track, “Take Me Out.” The song immediately met the world’s ever-present desire to jam to overpowering teen angst.Īmidst a number of their albums going unnoticed after 2004, Franz Ferdinand was only able to muster up one more head-banging hit song called “No You Girls,” from their 2009 album, Tonight: Franz Ferdinand. One year later their debut album, Franz Ferdinand, hallmarked their fame and was recognized by The Rolling Stone as one of the top 100 debut albums of all time.
The Scottish band found its beginnings in 2002 but did not begin releasing its music until their first ep in 2003. In light of the release of Franz Ferdinand’s latest album, Always Ascending, it is important to take a glimpse deep into the roots of the so-called “early 2000s one-hit-wonder band” and determine if that title is a genuine one.
