Their first 12" was released in 1998, followed by their debut CD, "This Is Just The Beginning" and "No Gimmicks Needed" LP on Blackout! Records the next year. The band subsequently signed to Side One Dummy Records and released two albums, "Funeral For A Feeling" in 2001 and "From Companionship To Competition" in 2005. KYI has also released quite a few EP's and split EP's including 2002's split with fellow LIHC band Crime In Stereo.
By January, 2006 the band had been together for ten years and celebrated by playing an anniversary show with friends Inhuman, Ensign, Two Man Advantage, Shell Shock and others at CBGB.
They disbanded in the May of 2007, playing their final show in a parking lot to 200-300 people, including many close friends. Local authorities shut down the originally intended last show after the audience far exceeded the venues capacity, and so it had to be moved last minute to a car park at a LI rehearsal studio.
Some members of the band founded Black Anvil.

Line by Line Meaning
Sometimes I wonder, do you still think of me?
I am curious if you still remember me in your thoughts
And if these thoughts bring back, the feelings of how it used to be.
If you do remember, do those thoughts evoke the same emotions we felt before?
How about when we first met, how much we used to laugh.
Do you reminisce about how we met and how we used to enjoy each other's company?
How did it disappear? It all happened so fast.
I am bewildered about how quickly our relationship ended and how it fell apart
It came out of silence, but ended in a war.
Our relationship may have started quietly, but it ended in a heated conflict
You took this time of my life spent, and threw it out the door.
You disregarded the time and effort we invested in our relationship and ended it abruptly
Do you still think of me, is it still in the air?
Do you still have thoughts of me lingering in your mind?
Do you still think of me, do you even care?
Even if you do think of me, do you still have any feelings for me or care about my well-being?
It happened without warning, so calm before the storm.
Our breakup occurred unexpectedly, and there were no prior indications of the impending turmoil in our relationship
Ending day or breaking dawn, again my feelings torn.
Whether it's the end of the day or the beginning of a new one, my emotions are still conflicted
Even though it hurts me, I still remember the days.
Despite the pain, I still recall the good times we shared
How good you made me feel, I lost count of the ways.
You made me feel so great that I can't even remember how many different ways you did so
If I could speak to you, I might feel better.
I believe that conversing with you might make me feel some sense of relief
So I just wrote this song, instead of a letter.
Rather than writing a traditional letter to you, I decided to express myself through this song
Do you still think of me, Am I part of your day?
Do thoughts of me still cross your mind, and am I still a part of your daily life?
Do You still think of me, Are you doing OK?
Even if I am no longer on your mind, I still wonder if you're doing well without me
I hope you are I hope you do because I remember you
I wish you all the best in life because I still have fond memories of you
