During their first period of activity in the 1980s, Östro 430 released two records on the indie record label Schallmauer-Records, which also released albums from der KFC and Xao Seffcheque. In 2020, the band released a best-of compilation on the Hamburg indie label Tapete Records, which also is the record label for Fehlfarben and Superpunk. Östro 430's upcoming release in 2023 is also on Tapete Records. The singer Thees Uhlmann has covered Östro 430's song "Ich halt mich raus" and released it as a bonus track to his album Junkies und Scientologen in September 2019.
