Extreme saw themselves as punk band that owes the NDW, that they have been so successful. On their website by saying, "Yes, we have the shit just been through"
The highlight of her career went through extra wide in the years 1981 to 1983, when they are not only the German New Wave helped shape, but also with sold-out concert halls, golden BRAVO records and title pages achieved their greatest successes. One of her most successful hits, the police came, the time to rehearsals at the Rockpalast Hohenlimburg. This title is on its quite dark and apocalyptic sounding album "What a country! - What kind of men! ". This record was in October 1981, her first big hit. In the wake of this success reached the "Your greatest successes titled "debut and the single release Hooray, hooray, the school is burning! also high turnover. The third LP "Return of the fantastic five, which included a duet with Marianne Faithfull (" Infernal Duo ") was ran very well.

After a hiatus until 1987, reported the band is back with an all-English album that flopped, too. In the 1990s, advanced extra wide to a German rock band with a social criticism, biting, ironic and melancholic lyrics, however, could not connect more to the success of the initial period.
