Brings is a Kölsch rock band hailing from Cologne, Germany, known for their dynamic fusion of rock music with elements of local folk traditions, namely the distinctive Kölsch dialect. The band was founded in 1990 by brothers Peter and Stephan Brings, along with friends Harry Alfter and Matthias Gottschalk. Later, Kai Engel joined the group, and together they have carved out a niche in the vibrant local music scene, becoming integral to the cultural fabric of Cologne and the Rhineland region.

Over the years, Brings has released a plethora of songs that celebrate their Cologne roots, with notable emphasis on the region's traditional carnival. Their music resonates well with fans of all ages, often carrying messages that promote local pride and unity. Some of their recent hits include "Kein Kölsch für Nazis," a clear political statement advocating for tolerance and inclusion, and "Romeo & Julia," a modern reinterpretation of the classic love story with a Kölsch twist. Their yearly carnival anthems, like "Karneval 2023 – Kölsche Party Hits," keep the spirit of the festivities alive throughout the year. In addition to their musical endeavors, Brings is also known for their philanthropic efforts, frequently engaging in social causes and community events.
