Beygairat Brigade released their second single Sab Paisay Ki Game Hai in February 2013. It criticised people's obsession with money and how it influences Pakistan's politics and safety issues. The song was extensively played in local media and immediately became a hit.
The Band's latest single "Dhinak Dhinak" released in May 2013 criticizing the Military's indirect domination of Pakistan politics was released and was promptly blocked on the video sharing site Vimeo , no reasons were cited.
