About Ostrock
East German rock music that developed behind the Iron Curtain from the late 1960s onward. Bands like Puhdys, Karat, and City sang in German as mandated by the state and released through the Amiga monopoly label, threading subversive lyrics past censors while filling stadiums across the Eastern Bloc.
