How Are They All So Perfect?!

Okay, we need to talk about the Franz Ferdinand boys because HOW are they all this amazing? Like, seriously, is there some secret lab in Glasgow where they breed rockstars?

First of all, Alex Kapranos. My husband. My reason for existing. We’ve already established that he’s perfect (see previous blog, lmao), but can we add how he just oozes charisma even when he’s doing nothing? Like, he could read a shopping list and I’d still faint. Plus, the way he interacts with the band? UGH, so cute! He’s like the cool older brother but also the ringleader of all the shenanigans.

And then there’s Nick McCarthy. Listen, Nick deserves his own fan club because that man is PURE CHAOS and I love it. His energy on stage? Unmatched. I swear he’s just out there having the time of his life, and it’s contagious. Plus, his harmonies with Alex? Literal angelic vibes. Also, let’s be honest, the man is gorgeous. Those cheekbones could cut glass.

Now let’s talk Paul Thomson. AKA, the coolest drummer alive. Like, I didn’t think drummers could steal the show until I saw Paul. His style? Immaculate. His rhythm? Flawless. The man is just pure vibes. Also, every time he cracks a joke in interviews, I lose it. Franz wouldn’t be Franz without him keeping everyone grounded while being effortlessly iconic.

And BOB HARDY. MY SOFT BOY. Bob is like the band’s secret weapon, quietly killing it on bass while the rest of them act like absolute maniacs. He’s so lowkey, but then you see him smile, and it’s like, "Oh no, here comes the serotonin!" Also, his bond with Nick is ADORABLE. Which brings me to…

NILEX.

I CAN’T. The Alex and Nick bromance is just TOO MUCH for my fragile heart. Have you seen the way they look at each other during Michael? Like, HELLO, that’s not normal friendship behavior!!! The little glances, the cheeky smiles, the way Nick gets way too close sometimes—I’m convinced they’re trying to kill us. They know what they’re doing, and they’re LOVING IT.

Anyway, Franz Ferdinand is perfect. The music slaps, the boys are chaotic geniuses, and I’m just sitting here screaming into the void because I love them so much. I need to lie down. Or listen to the album again. Probably both.

JUST LOOK AT THEM!!!
