Ostzonensuppenwürfelmachenkrebs

Ostzonensuppenwürfelmachenkrebs (sometimes shortened to OZSWMK)was a German indie rock band formed in the late 80's in Hamburg, Germany. The group were one of the leading artists in the Hamburg Scene. The name of the band refers to the German Bild newspaper headline translated to English as "East-Zone soup cubes bring cancer". The corresponding edition appeared on 2nd August 1952 and was related to the health-damaging effect of certain chemical components in East German products.
