The opening track of their second album, ‘In the Morning’ highlighted Razorlight’s shift towards a more commercial sound. With its clean, sixteenth’s based riff, this is a catchy hum-under-your-breath kinda song which became a huge hit and a solid fan favourite at live gigs. The riff’s downstrokes punctuate the kick drum in a way that has been likened to Franz Ferdinand’s ‘Take Me Out’.

Reaching number one in the UK Indie Chart, this edgy tune from post-punk rock band Franz Ferdinand is instantly recognizable. As the second single on their debut album, the Scottish foursome really hit the spot with ‘Take Me Out’. Its persuasive opening riff followed by a simple staccato and resounding bass-line has secured ‘Take Me Out’ the accolade of being Franz Ferdinand’s most gripping and addictive track.
