In 1991, the band toured in Europe with Sonic Youth, which was documented in the film 1991: The Year Punk Broke. Following this, Babes in Toyland peaked in commercial success when they performed on a portion of the Lollapalooza tour in 1993, and released their second album, Fontanelle (1992), which sold over 250,000 copies. In 1994, the band was featured on the covers of Entertainment Weekly and USA Today. At the height of the band’s fame, Bjelland and her former bandmate Courtney Love were often pitted against one another as rivals in media, with frequent comparisons between the two’s visual appearances. According to Bjelland, the two had a falling out after Bjelland told a reporter: “Only about a quarter of what Courtney says is true. But nobody usually bothers to decipher which are the lies. She’s all about image.” Babes in Toyland’s original bassist, Leon, claimed the rivalry between Love and Bjelland was “blown totally out of proportion,” while Bjelland added in a 2011 interview: “The media did that, and it was really hurtful to me for a long time. They’d say it’s some kind of battle. Which it wasn’t. We were friends.” Bjelland would later refer to Love as her “soul sister,” commenting in a 2001 interview: “I haven’t spoken to Courtney for years but soul sisters don’t need to. There will always be a bond between us, regardless of whether we speak or not.”
