With their sharply stylish mix of rock and dance music, Franz Ferdinand brought a wry sophistication to indie rock while becoming one of the UK's most popular bands in the early 21st century. The Glasgow-based group arrived in the wake of the early-2000s rock revival, with bands such as The Strokes and The Libertines reminding listeners just how refreshing hook-driven guitar music could be. While Franz Ferdinand had a kinship with those acts, their lineage also includes the arch, angular post-punk of bands such as Wire and the witty, funky jangle of fellow Glaswegians Orange Juice.
