Franz Ferdinand [wiki] v2.0? That’s what it seems when you listen this track for the first time! So, to get a conclusion, let’s take a closer look (using Wikipedia info):

Franz Ferdinand The Rakes
Formed on: 2000 2001
Origin: Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom London, England
Genre: Indie rock, Post-punk revival, Art rock Indie rock, Art rock, Post-punk revival
Label: Domino, Epic V2

Too close, isn’t it? But if we say that TR were the support-band for FF during winter 05… the solution to the question is clear.

P.S.: I love the amateur/home made style used on the video.
