getting positive write-ups in American press

Magnapop established their fan base in the early 1990s through touring and the festival circuit —particularly in central Europe, where they first broke through to the mainstream. It was only after they had established a fan base in Europe and received positive press in the United Kingdom that the band first became recognized in the United States, including their native Atlanta. By the end of 1992, they were getting positive write-ups in American press such as The New York Times and supported Juliana Hatfield on tour. The group made appearances at Rocking Kolonia Festival in Maastricht in 1992, Pukkelpop in 1992 , Transmusicales in 1992, A Campingflight to Lowlands Paradise in 1993, and the Reading Festival in 1993 . They also recorded a John Peel session on September 2, 1993 and a Black Session on February 25, 1994.
