| | Franz Ferdinand : Darts of Pleasure - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) |
 | | Although Franz Ferdinand has been hailed as "Scotland's answer to Interpol," their debut EP, Darts of Pleasure, reveals the band as much weirder and wider-ranging than their impeccably dressed American counterparts. |
 | | Admittedly, the chunky, angular guitars that propel the EP's opening track, "Darts of Pleasure," do sound akin to those on Interpol's "PDA," and Franz Ferdinand's singer, Alex Kapranos, has an insistent baritone voice that recalls both Paul Banks and Ian Curtis. |
 | | Darts of Pleasure is a fine opening salvo from a very promising group. |
