The band's first single "Feathers" was released in July 2017. The band's second single "Gasoline" was released in January 2018, and it played on the national YleX radio channel.

Emma nomination for the best rock album of the year. Cyan Kick's first foreign concerts in the summer of 2020 were canceled due to the
COVID-19 pandemic and the band started making new music. Ryd and Cyan Kicks wanted to collaborate and about a week after the show they made the song "Hurricane" in one day of work. The song was produced by American musician-producer
Chris Walla and was also mixed by
Zakk Cervini. During 2023 they did a tour with the Swedish band Smash into pieces. Cyan Kicks were selected to compete in
Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu 2024 with the song "Dancing with Demons". == Musical style ==
