[4] Throughout their career, the band has been politically dedicated, one of the best known examples is their leading rols in the Arsch huh, Zäng ussenander campaign against right-wing extremist violence in Germany.

[5] The 10th anniversary of the band came with some transitions – Brings broke up with their label (EMI) – and their next album and single release Superjeilezick brought a major style change.

The song Superjeilezick ("Super cool times") was strongly inspired by Those Were the Days, but in Kölsch dialect and Brings started touring with other carnival bands like Höhner and Die Paveier [de].

Leaving rock music behind, Brings eventually began focusing on carnival and party songs, a strategy that lead to ultimate success, mainly in the Rhineland area.

[6][7] Major successes of the following years were the singles Nur Nicht Aus Liebe Weinen (2007), a cover version of the Zarah Leander song, and Halleluja (2010).
