A Swedish satirical band, formed in the 1980s and releasing their debut album "Im Dienste des Sozialismus" in 1998, disbanding
the following year.
The band mocks the tone of propagandistic media created by the German
Democratic Republic and the USSR, with overdramatic and hyper-enthusiastic lyrics about the greatness of socialism.
Despite their songs being intended as jokes, IFA Wartburg's audience has grown
significantly since their music was uploaded onto YouTube, and many modern day communists, socialists and GDR nostalgics enjoy their music.
