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
Don't even know Why or what you hate
You have no valid reason for your hatred
False negativity I know I can't relate
Your negative attitude isn't real and I don't share it
Clench your fists in anger at those who will oppose
You get mad at people who don't agree with you
your hate is just a label an image that you chose
You've chosen to identify with your hate, but it's not who you truly are
open your mind and you will see
If you're willing to be more open-minded, you'll see things differently
You don't prove a fucking thing to me
Your anger and hate is pointless and doesn't impress me
repeat first verse
Reiterating that you have no valid reason for your hatred
We're just here to enjoy the show
We're not here to hate, we're here to have a good time
Break down the walls of hatred
We need to get rid of the division and animosity between people
Do us all a favor and let it go
It would be helpful for everyone if you moved on from your negative emotions
