The independent [[Front Rock]] label was founded at the end of the 1980s by [[Dušan Hedl]], organiser, activist and member of the now veteran band [[Center za dehumanizacijo (CZD)]] from Maribor and the region of Štajerska. Since then, numerous young bands and musical artists have made their public début on the [[Front Rock]] label. In [[Established::1999]], the label was integrated into the broader music publishing programme of a new cultural NGO for art production and publishing, Subkulturni azil Maribor, today named [[Cultural Centre Maribor]].

==Releases== 

The label has thus far featured all the music created by [[Center za dehumanizacijo (CZD)]] (13 recordings) and about 15 recordings by other bands or compilations, including [[Polska malca]], [[Pure Laine]], [[Delaware]], [[IN4S]], Schnele Fe - The MI, [[Pridigarji]], [[Scuffy Dogs]], [[Dr Zero]], Hoću? Neču! (Serbia) and American MDC. Some LPs and CDs are sought-after curiosities, both at home and abroad. 

Front Rock's series of compilation recordings from the [[No Border Jam Festival]] represents an important promotional tool for contemporary rock. Its current programme features primarily ground-breaking first recordings of talented and skilful musicians. Subkulturni azil releases include: Xenia Jus, [[KvinTon]], [[Roma Ramadan]], [[Tamburaši iz Cirkulan]] and [[Electric Tea]]. Subkulturni azil &ndash; Front Rock recordings and sound editing are mostly done at the [[Studio at the Border]], which presents a platform and a stimulus for local and international creative cooperation and networking in the field of music.


== The ''Poets Sung By Rockers'' series ==

The interdisciplinary field has been explored through a CD series ''Rokerji pojejo pesnike'' (Poets Sung By Rockers) conceived by Subkulturni azil and published within the [[MKC Maribor Youth Culture Centre]].
