Julian Corrie and Dino Bardot joined the band in 2017 after McCarthy left during the previous year. The band is one of the more popular post-punk revival bands, garnering multiple UK top 20 hits. They have been nominated for several Grammy Awards and have received two Brit Awards – winning one for Best British Group – as well as one NME Award.

History

Formation (2002–2003)

The band's members played in various bands during the 1990s, including The Karelia, Yummy Fur, 10p Invaders, and Embryo. Alex Kapranos and Paul Thomson met at a party and began a close friendship and played together in Yummy Fur, and subsequently teamed up to write songs. Around the same time, Kapranos taught his friend, Bob Hardy, how to play bass after being given a bass guitar by Mick Cooke of Belle & Sebastian. Kapranos met co-guitarist Nick McCarthy, who had returned to Scotland after studying jazz bass in Germany, in 2001.

Once the members came together, they settled on the name 'Franz Ferdinand' for their band. The name was originally inspired by a racehorse called Archduke Ferdinand. After seeing the horse win the Northumberland Plate in 2001, the band began to discuss Archduke Franz Ferdinand and thought it would be a good band name because of the alliteration of the name and the implications of the Archduke's death; his assassination was a significant factor in the lead-up to World War I. 'Mainly we just liked the way it sounded', said Bob. 'We liked the alliteration'. 'He was an incredible figure as well', continued Alex. 'His life, or at least the ending of it, was the catalyst for the complete transformation of the world and that is what we want our music to be. But I don't want to over-intellectualize the name thing. Basically a name should just sound good … like music'. Paul offered, 'I like the idea that, if we become popular, maybe the words Franz Ferdinand will make people think of the band instead of the historical figure' – talking to is this music?.

Franz Ferdinand and international breakthrough (2003–2005)

In May 2003 the band signed to Laurence Bell's independent record label, Domino Recording Company. The band moved to Gula Studios in Malmö, Sweden, with Cardigans producer Tore Johansson to record their debut album. In the latter part of 2003, the band released their debut single, 'Darts of Pleasure'. In January 2004, the single 'Take Me Out' (

The band spent much of 2005 in the studio in Glasgow working on their follow-up album, You Could Have It So Much Better, which was released on 3 October 2005. The band initially intended to leave the album self-titled like their debut, but they changed it to You Could Have It So Much Better...With Franz Ferdinand before settling on the final title. The album's cover design was modelled on Alexander Rodchenko's 1924 portrait of Lilya Brik. The band attempted to broaden its musical range on the album; Hardy said, 'There's more to life than disco-beat guitar music'. It was generally well received in the press and seen as an album equal to, or better than, their first by most critics. It entered the UK Album Charts at Number 1 and the US charts at Number 8. The album eventually sold 2 million copies worldwide. To support the album, four singles were released. Included in that set is a double A-side single that contained a video-clip-only single as well (both the AA-side 'L. Wells' and the video-clip 'Jeremy Fraser' are not featured on the album, recorded in early 2006 during the band's tour of Australia in support of the album). Also included is another video-clip-only single called 'Wine, In the Afternoon' which is the B-side to 'Eleanor Put Your Boots On', and was also not featured on the album, but recorded on tour in Michigan. 'Do You Want To' made it to number 4 and was declared by Q to be the greatest single of 2005, while 'Walk Away' and 'The Fallen' entered the top 15 of the UK Singles Chart. The fourth and final single from the second album, 'Eleanor Put Your Boots On', peaked at number 30. You Could Have It So Much Better went on to earn a nomination for Best Alternative Album at the 48th Annual Grammy Awards in 2006, as did 'Do You Want To' for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.

Tonight: Franz Ferdinand (2007–2011)

On 26 January 2009, the band released their third studio album, Tonight: Franz Ferdinand, which they had been recording in Glasgow since mid-2007. The band recorded the album in a disused building in Glasgow that had been a town hall in the past. Alex Kapranos has stated that 'The last record was...like a teenager having sex. This one's a bit more assured and a bit friendlier for the dance floor.'Tonight was mixed by Canadian Mix Engineer Mike Fraser. The song 'Ulysses' was chosen to be the first single and was released on 19 January 2009. It was first played by Zane Lowe on 17 November 2008. Shortly afterwards it hit YouTube. It did not see that much success in the UK Top 40, reaching only No.20, but it fared better in Spain and Japan where it reached No.2 and No.3 respectively. It also entered the Top 20 of the US Modern Rock Chart. The album, Tonight was released 26 January 2009 and debuted at No.2 in the UK Album Chart and No.9 in the US Billboard 200. The second single, 'No You Girls' saw success both in the charts and on the radio prior to release, eventually reaching No.7 on the US Modern Rock Chart and was performed by Franz Ferdinand on Comic Relief 2009 Top of The Pops special. 'Can't Stop Feeling' was released on 6 July as the 3rd single from the album and on 28 August, 'What She Came For' was released as the 4th single in the form of a remix single. The band performed 'What She Came For' on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien on Wednesday, 26 August 2009.

The band appeared on Radio 1's live lounge performing their second single No You Girls, and did a cover of Britney Spears' comeback single 'Womanizer'. In February 2009, Glastonbury Festival announced Franz Ferdinand as the first major band playing at that year's festival. The band also unveiled a 19-date tour of the USA during the spring, in support of the new album. The tour included a set at the Coachella Festival. The band were also one of the main stage acts performing at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Swindon in May. On 6 May 2009, it was announced that Franz Ferdinand would be the 3rd opening act for the Green Day's 21st Century Breakdown World Tour. They played 8–26 August 2009, and they followed Kaiser Chiefs and The Bravery.

On 1 June 2009, the band released Blood, a compilation album that includes dub music versions of songs from Tonight: Franz Ferdinand. The release was timed to coincide with Record Store Day. iTunes Festival: London 2009, iTunes Store exclusive, was released in June as well.

Also made for the Record Store Day, on 16 April 2011 Domino released the compilation Covers E.P., which featured songs of Tonight: Franz Ferdinand played by Peaches, LCD Soundsystem, Stephin Merritt, ESG and Debbie Harry (who recorded in duet with the band). The first edition was only vinyl, and on 2 May 2011 it was released on CD.

Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action and FFS with Sparks (2012–2015)

Writing for a fourth studio album began in 2010. Kapranos stated that the band promised themselves they would also focus on not over-publicizing their progress as he felt that's something he regretted about their previous album. In May 2012, the band returned to touring, playing several festivals during the summer of 2012 including a headlining slot at Field Day festival in London's Victoria Park. Other appearances included Barcelona's Primavera Sound Festival, Montreal's 2012 Osheaga Music Festival, Chicago's 2012 Lollapalooza Music Festival, Belgium's Dour Festival, Portugal's Marés Vivas Festival and San Francisco's 2012 Outside Lands Music Festival.

During their 2012 tour, the band gradually introduced new songs to their repertoire, along with a reworked version of Tonight cut 'Can't Stop Feeling' combined with 'I Feel Love' by Donna Summer. In March 2013, Franz Ferdinand continued touring and premiering new songs. In early March they performed 'Evil Eye' and 'Love Illumination', while the end of the month saw the live premiere of 'Goodbye Lovers & Friends'. On 16 May 2013, Franz Ferdinand officially announced their fourth album, titled Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action, along with cover art, track listing, and a release date of 26 August 2013. The band launched the new album at a show at the Electric Brixton. FMV Magazine's Dan Jenko praised the gig, saying that 'there's no reason why latest LP Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action can't be the belated soundtrack of the summer'.

On 9 March 2015, it was announced that the band had formed a supergroup with Sparks under the name FFS, with plans to release a studio album and tour Europe during that summer. A teaser titled 'The Domino Effect' was released on the group's YouTube channel that same day. The John Congleton–produced album, FFS, was officially announced on 1 April 2015. Three official singles were released from the album: 'Johnny Delusional', which was released on 13 April, 'Call Girl', which was released on 28 May, and 'Police Encounters', which was released on 23 October.

Lineup change and Always Ascending (2016–present)

In July 2016, the band announced that guitarist Nick McCarthy would not be involved in the recording and touring of their next album, in order to concentrate on his family and other musical interests. The band, however, have stressed that it is possible he may rejoin the band at a later date. On 14 October 2016, the band released 'Demagogue', a song protesting and satirising the candidacy of Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential election of 2016. It was released as part of the 30 Days, 50 Songs programme that featured 50 songs lyrically against Trump and his candidacy.

On 19 May 2017, two days prior to the start of their North American tour, Franz Ferdinand announced their new five-piece line-up, with former Yummy Fur and 1990s member Dino Bardot on guitar and Julian Corrie on keyboards, synth and guitar. On 25 October, the band released the title track from their fifth studio album, Always Ascending (2018), as its lead single. They revealed the album's release date, 9 February 2018, and announced dates for a world tour. Corrie joined the band for the recording sessions of the album, while Bardot joined after recording was completed.

Collaborations and covers

Franz Ferdinand covered the LCD Soundsystem song 'All My Friends' which appeared as a B-side on the single, and LCD Soundsystem covered their song Live Alone in return, which appeared on a covers EP alongside Stephin Merritt, ESG and Debbie Harry who all covered songs from Tonight. They have also covered 'Sexy Boy' by Air, 'It Won't Be Long' by The Beatles, Pulp's 'Mis-Shapes', Gwen Stefani's top 5 hit 'What You Waiting For?', Blondie's 'Call Me', Britney Spears' 'Womanizer' and David Bowie's song 'Sound and Vision', featuring Girls Aloud on backing vocals, for a compilation disc marking the 40th anniversary of BBC Radio 1, along with other leading artists. Additionally, Franz Ferdinand recorded a cover of The Fire Engines' song 'Get Up and Use Me'. In return, the Fire Engines recorded a cover of 'Jacqueline'. The band also took a similar approach with Dutch band De Kift, covering the song 'Heisa-Ho' whilst De Kift recorded a cover of 'Love and Destroy' with Dutch lyrics. The cover by De Kift is named 'Liefde En Puin' which is the title 'Love and Destroy' translated into Dutch. The band has had remixes by electronic artists Daft Punk, Hot Chip, Justice, The Avalanches, Microfilm, and Erol Alkan.

The band also performed, played, and recorded with Jane Birkin, covering the Serge Gainsbourg song 'Sorry Angel' for the 2005 album Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited. In addition, Franz re-recorded the track 'Brown Onions' for David Shrigley's compilation album Worried Noodles. The band kept instrumentation identical but used lyrics written by Shrigley which include the consistent repetition of the word 'No' and occasionally 'No brains, no teeth, no legs, no eyes...'. Hot Chip, a band who are reported to be a favourite of Franz Ferdinand, also performed their own version of 'No' on the same album.

The band 'met' Gorillaz in December 2005 and interviewed each other for a feature in Observer Music Monthly.

At the 2009 NME Awards ceremony, they performed a cover of Blondie's 'Call Me' with Elly Jackson of La Roux on guest vocals.

When Franz appeared on Radio 1's Live Lounge on 6 April 2009 to promote No You Girls, they covered Womanizer by Britney Spears.

They have also collaborated with Marion Cotillard for the 2010 Lady Dior campaign. The band wrote the lyrics and plays the music for the song 'The Eyes of Mars', while the actress is on vocals. Kapranos noted that it was refreshing working with her as she had a lot of fun going and retrying the song time and time again.

In 2010, Franz Ferdinand contributed to the Alice in Wonderland soundtrack with their adaption of the song 'The Lobster Quadrille'. Later that year, Kapranos and McCarthy collaborated on the song 'Do It Again' with Edwyn Collins on his album Losing Sleep.

In 2016 Alex Kapranos took part in a documentary about Glasgow music and Chemikal Underground Records called Lost in France. The film was directed by Niall McCann and brought Kapranos (along with members of The Delgados, Mogwai and others) to Mauron, Brittany, to recreate a gig they played when Kapranos was in his earlier band, The Karelia. The film features Kapranos playing live with Stuart Braithwaite of Mogwai, and other musicians such as Emma Pollock and RM Hubbert, and Holy Mountain, as well as interviews with Kapranos and his old label-mates. Lost in France premiered at the Edinburgh International Film Festival to wholly positive reviews and was called 'funny, vital and sobering' by Scotland's arts bible The Skinny.

Stylistically, the band has been labeled as 'indie rock, post-punk revival, dance-punk, dance-rock, and art rock.'

The band is notable for its use of Russian avant-garde imagery in album and single covers designed by Matthew Cooper. Examples include: 'You Could Have It So Much Better', which references a 1924 portrait of Lilya Brik by Alexander Rodchenko; 'Take Me Out', which references One-Sixth Part of the World, also by Alexander Rodchenko; 'This Fire' which references Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge by El Lissitzky; and 'Michael', with single art based on A Proun by Lissitzky. The song 'Love and Destroy' was inspired by the scene of disorder made by Margarita, a character of Michael Bulgakov's 'The Master and Margarita', in the apartment of the literature critic Latunzky.

Also, in 'Outsiders', the lyrics 'In seventeen years will you still be Camille, Lee Miller, Gala or whatever' are a reference to the lovers of the artists Auguste Rodin, Man Ray and Salvador Dalí.
