Alex Kapranos
Image
Ambition is sneered at by some bands. It seems like a pretty good thing to me.
Alex Kapranos
Image
The internet is like a gossipy girls' locker room after school, isn't it?
Alex Kapranos
Image
Why play a chord when you can play one note?
Alex Kapranos
Image
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
Image
I think a lot of bands are creatively knackered when they come off tour.
Alex Kapranos
Image
If success had come along when I was 17 it would either have killed me or sent me completely mad.
Alex Kapranos
Image
Being in a band didn't buy me my beans on toast!
