On December 30, 2009, Candyrat put out the first Youtube video of The Reign of Kindo performing the song "Just Wait." It became an immediate hit as within the first 24 hour period it was one of the most highly rated and commented videos among Youtube's music category of videos.
On April 28, 2010, the band officially confirmed their third record, an LP titled "This Is What Happens". It will be released through Candyrat Records on August 3, 2010.

The Reign of Kindo : Rhythm, Chord and Melody
Rock / Jazz / Vocal / Instrumental
Rare is it to find modern music that pinpoints the middle ground between a respect for past greats and a boldness to pave tomorrow. This is, quite modestly, the definition of The Reign of Kindo. Citing influences from Dave Brubeck to Ben Folds to Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto to John Mayer, there's not a degree of pomposity in this sound, just an honesty in the group's craft to blend such diverse influences into an identity so refreshing, unique, and universally personable.

With this six song EP, simply titled The Reign Of Kindo, the band has perfected a new sound. A very jazzy, but cool sound that's pretty complex at times. The Reign Of Kindo EP is fantastic and really gets me excited about the future of the band. It's bands like The Reign Of Kindo that give me hope for the future of music. - Nathan Lint - Absolute Punk
