Franz Ferdinand announce long awaited return to Australia

After more than a decade Scottish rockers Franz Ferdinand are returning to Australia to celebrate their sixth studio album The Human Fear.

Supported by special local guests Teenage Dads and Naarm punks Delivery, the November tour will showcase the band at their most immediate and upbeat while staying true to that classic Franz style.

RTRFMs Ethan Bellhouse sat down with bassist and original member Bob Hardy ahead of their return Down Under and started by asking about their approach to songwriting on The Human Fear.
