Dritte Wahl is a punk rock band from Rostock, Germany that was one of the few bands to perform very direct and politically controversial music during the East German city's final years under Communist rule. Several years following Germany's reunification, the members of Dritte Wahl founded their own record label in 1998 and began distributing their own independently produced albums, adding more weight behind the band's already heavy anti-establishment vibe. Following several line up changes in the 2000s, Dritte Wahl is currently stronger than ever, performing regularly at venues throughout Germany, Europe, and more recently, Cuba.
