Speaking to The Observer, Franz Ferdinand front man Alex Kapranos said he almost dissolved the Brit band. He said, "I wanted to split the band up, because in my head it felt like one of those jobs... the ones I had to jack in. I didn't like the routine and the obligations. And whether those obligations lay with my contemporaries, my peers, my record label, the fans, the audiences - or maybe myself... I felt... It was time to... stop that." The band are set to release their new album, Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action, next week.
