They gained a significant following in Europe during the early 1990s, performing at various festivals such as Pukkelpop and Reading Festival. Their debut album Magnapop was released in June 1992. The band's second studio album, Hot Boxing, included the single "Slowly, Slowly", which reached Number 25 on the charts in September 1994. In 1995, McNair left the group due to differing lifestyles.
