R.I.P Million Dead
After a hugely sycessful year, Million Dead have decided to go their separate ways. They are to play their final ever tour this autumn as the band will split up after the last date in Southampton on 23rd September.
After the release of their critically acclaimed second album 'Harmony No Harmony' back in May and a packed out 'Lock Up' tent at this year's Reading and Leeds Festival, the band have reached a mutual decision to no longer continue as Million Dead and pursue other projects.
The band have released this statement:
“Million Dead are breaking up. After four years and two albums, we have mutually decided that this is best thing to do. Irreconcilable differences within the band mean that it would be impossible to continue, and anyway, we'd rather leave a good-looking corpse. Our reasons are personal and assured. Therefore, the upcoming September tour will be our last.
We'd like to express our deep gratitude to those who worked with and for us over the years, who had faith in us, and without whom we would never have got anywhere. We'd also like to thank all those who bought records, came to shows, and generally gave a shit. We're still pleasantly surprised that anyone ever did.
You will no doubt be hearing from some or all of us again at some point in the future.”
The single 'To Whom It May Concern' is still out on 19th September through Xtra Mile Recordings and the full tour dates are as follows:
