I won't just say "If it's not Scottish, it's CRAP", but I'll nevertheless go with Franz Ferdinand. It feels like they have more ownership of their material - more varied matieral, comfortable enough to leave some more dead space in lyrics, I like the guit

I'd choose the killers.

I'd say that TAKE ME OUT was the single of theyear, but nothing else has done much for me.
The Killrs have SOMBODY TOLD ME, MR BRIGHTSIDE, ALL THESE THINGS...
I think that they could be a great group in the future.

I love both.. but in the end I think it has to be Franz Ferdenand. I'm not quite sure why though.

It's probably unfair to make a choice as I've only had each for a couple of months, but at this point I'd pick Franz Ferdinand over The Killers. To go one further, I'd take Dogs Die in Hot Cars over The Futureheads... and overall DDiHC would win over all
