commented on the band’s break-up

In 2011, Turner commented on the band’s break-up. “I’m very proud of all the music we made in that band,” he said. “It came to an end. The actual process of that end wasn’t very fun. I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing now if I hadn’t done Million Dead before. I’m glad it happened. Once the end of Million Dead rolled around, I just didn’t want to be in a band anymore. The last year of Million Dead was just murderous. Four people who want to kill each other, sat in a van driving around Europe…it’s no fun.” Turner has continued to perform “Smiling At Strangers On Trains” live since the split of the band, often including it in solo sets. In 2019, Mïngle Härde also began playing the song.
