Franz Ferdinand Franz Ferdinand are reported to have rejected an advertising deal from an unnamed company worth $50m.

Speaking to the Scotsman newspaper, frontman Alex Kapranos said "The advert meant we had to completely surrender all of our identity and integrity to this product that was being advertised."

"It wasn't... Coca Cola or anything like that. It was just a thing that needed some music associated with it.

"We just had to say no because of the gut reaction. It wasn't because we didn't want to sell more records. It was just because it didn't feel right."
