The album was released worldwide, og bandet played concerts around in Europe and US. The second album, Death in the Rockinghorse Factory, was released in 1992 and it was awarded Spellemannprisen 1992 in the rock category. Despite good reviews, none of the albums achieved the big sales figures. This combined with problems with the follow-up from the record company led to the band being dissolved in 1993.
