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.

Kill Your Idols Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to Kill Your Idols' song "Nameless" express the feeling of being lost and alone in an unfamiliar place, longing for someone to share one's thoughts with. The lyrics start by expressing the desire to say "I miss you" to someone back home, but the realization comes that there is no one to say this to. The singer then wishes to sing a song about this person, but again realizes that without a name or a connection to this place, how would this person ever know?
The chorus repeats the theme of being lost without a sense of direction or purpose, feeling alone and frustrated. The lyrics express a longing for someone to feel the same way about the singer, to know what is going on inside their head. However, the last two lines suggest that the problem might lie within the singer themselves, having lost touch with their own thoughts and emotions.
Overall, the song "Nameless" portrays a sense of disconnection and isolation, an inability to connect with others on a deeper level. The lyrics suggest a struggle with identity and purpose, and ultimately question the state of one's own mind.
