In this episode of Tuna on Toast, Stryker interviews Alex Kapranos, lead singer of Franz Ferdinand. The guys start out discussing fatherhood, since Alex’s son recently turned one. They also remember Franz Ferdinand’s first show in LA, which Stryker attended decades ago at the Troubadour. Alex then talks about Franz Ferdinand’s new album ‘The Human Fear,’ which will drop in 2025. Stryker has been playing the song “Audacious” on his radio show, and Alex reveals how it came together – along with an explanation why fear is a good thing. Alex didn’t always feel like he could front a rock band, and he tells Stryker how a random karaoke performance became life-changing. Alex goes further into Franz Ferdinand’s history, discussing his memories of the Grammys, the most terrifying gig he ever played, and how Franz Ferdinand found their indie rock sound at a time when most popular rock music was loud and heavy.
