Franz Ferdinand are back with the anti-Trump 'Demagogue'

With just 26 days to go until the US presidential election, Franz Ferdinand have returned to stick the boot in Donald Trump’s campaign of fear.

‘Demagogue’, a brand new track from the spiky Scottish bunch, is featured on the ‘30 Days, 30 Nights’ compilation which kickstarted earlier this week with a new offering from Death Cab For Cutie. Probably not a reference to the big ugly bloke in Stranger Things, it instead calls out Trump’s weirdly tiny hands and how bloody awful it would be to have those in charge of nuclear weapons. Fair point.

Stream ‘Demagogue’ below - it’s the first material from the band since the departure of founding guitarist Nick McCarthy in July.
