No doubt many have googled "Franz Ferdinand" and stumbled upon the fact that this was the guy whose assassination sparked World War I. The band Franz Ferdinand began in Glasgow, Scotland in 2002. They liked the alliteration of the name, and mused that perhaps one day they would be more well-known than the Archduke himself. Releasing a solid, danceable indie rock album like Always Ascending every few years can only help to make that more and more likely.
