October 24th 2024.
Million Dead, the beloved post-hardcore band, have announced their return after two decades of being apart. The frontman, Frank Turner, revealed this exciting news on social media, and fans couldn't be happier. It's been twenty years since the band parted ways due to "irreconcilable differences." Even though Frank has had a successful solo career with ten studio albums, fans have been pleading for the band to reunite.
Finally, their wishes have been granted as Frank has confirmed that all five former members will be reuniting for a few shows. The band, based in London, was formed in 2000 by Cameron Dean and Julia Ruzicka, with Ben Dawson and Frank joining shortly after. In 2004, Cameron left and was replaced by Tom Fowler, but the group abruptly split in 2005, stating they would "rather leave a good-looking corpse."
Interestingly, after twenty years, the band has no recollection of why they parted ways. In a recent social media post, Frank shared that the band members met up for a beer in March 2024 and couldn't remember why they broke up. To celebrate their 20th anniversary, they decided to get back together and play a few shows in 2025. Frank expressed his excitement and invited fans to join in the celebration.
It's unclear if this reunion will include new music, as the band had released two albums before their split. Their debut album, "A Song To Ruin," peaked at 14 on the UK Indie Chart in 2003. However, it failed to break into the Top 100 album chart at the time. Despite this, Million Dead has gained a cult following over the years, partly due to Frank's solo success.
In 2005, when the band announced their break-up, they stated that it was due to "irreconcilable differences" and that they would "rather leave a good-looking corpse." Six years later, Frank revealed to Punk Ska Press that he was proud of the music they had created together. However, he also admitted that the end of the band was not a pleasant experience, and he had no desire to be in a band anymore. He explained that the last year of Million Dead was "murderous," with four band members wanting to kill each other while touring Europe in a van.
Despite the initial bad blood, Frank and the full line-up will be hitting the road next year, and hopefully, this time it will be a more harmonious experience. Fans are eagerly awaiting the reunion and wondering if new music will be a part of it.
