In 2006 it released their its album, Holdfénykert (Moonlit Garden) on a small Hungarian record label: Rockszerviz. This first edition was sold out in 6 months. The band played in the Netherlands at the ProgFarm Festival (4 November 2006, Bakkeveen, The Netherlands).
In February 2007, Yesterdays and Rockszerviz Records organized the first MiniProg Festival (Budapest, Ship A38) in Budapest with two other bands: Flamborough Head from the Netherlands and ex-Yes guitarist Peter Banks' Harmony In Diversity (U.K.).
After some member changes the band worked on some new songs, a 20 minutes long epic for the upcoming Colossus Magazine/Musea release The Spaghetti Epic III and on a 5 minutes progrock hit with Jonas Reingold, the bassist of The Flower Kings, for Dante's Inferno (a new Colossus/Musea project CD box).
In 2008, Holdfénykert was re-released by the famous French label, Musea Records. The CD came out as an "Enhanced and Remastered" edition, with some multimedia bonuses.
In July 2008 "It's So Divine" from the Holdfénykert album reached position 23 on "City FM 106,2" (Romanian Radio) National Top 30 Hit Chart.
Yesterdays' second album called Colours Caffé has been released by Hungarian label Rockszerviz in January 2011. The album features 11 new songs and a hidden track. It seems that Yesterdays had the chance to play with their Hungarian influences, like Tamás Mohai (ex. East, Faxni, RABB, etc.), Hungary's most wanted session drummer Gergely Borlai. The album's mastering was done by King's X guitarist Ty Tabor at the Alien Beans Studio. Not long after the album's debut it was released by DiskUnion in Japan as a double CD (enhanced with a bonus CD, including old demos, alternate versions and even brand new songs).
