Alex Kapranos
Just because you can leap off a drum kit doing a scissors kick while hitting a chord, people expect you to be an extrovert socially. But I'm not always comfortable with the idea of small talk at a party.
Alex Kapranos
Maybe 'Can't Stop Feeling' and 'Turn It On' we'll just release as singles. It's a thing The Beatles used to do which I really loved, the idea of releasing something as a single completely on its own.
Alex Kapranos
Surely every band wants to be a pivotal point in history.
Alex Kapranos
People's musical tastes are fickle, and music can be a fashion.
Alex Kapranos
I have always been fascinated by the concept of the villain and the hero being in one person.
