They do have a song that somehow tackles the assassination, and its title is "All For You Sophia", which is a B-side to their hit single, Take Me Out. It does not completely retell the whole story, it in fact, employs reiteration. It, however, makes mention of the important people and places, like Sophia (the Archduke's wife is actually Sofie, but the band decided to lengthen the name so that it would sound better), Gavrilo Princip, their "chauffeur" Franz Urban, and Appel Quay. :)
