Franz Ferdinand delay album release
Franz Ferdinand, who originally planned on releasing their follow up to 2005’s You Could Have It So Much Better in October, has decided to delay the album release until early 2009 due to production and mixing issues.
Though on the bright side, this extra time should also help the English natives come up with an album title - something that has apparently been quite difficult up to this point.
Speaking to BBC 6Music, [Alex] Kapranos also revealed that the band were having problems choosing a title for the record.
“We were gonna call it ‘Bite Hard’ at one point because there was a song called ‘Bite Hard’ and we weren’t gonna use that as a song, but liked the phrase,” he said.
“It’s quite suggestive but apparently in the States if you say something ‘bites’ it means it sucks, so if something bites hard, it sucks really badly. So we thought; ‘No we’ll choose another title.’”

In the meantime, there are plenty of new videos to check out from the band’s recent performance at London Pub, where they showcased several songs expected to appear on the upcoming album…
