Rokarja AST was an organization formed in the early 1980s to encourage and support various cultural initiatives, most prominently, a music commune housed in the former British Army barracks located on the Tigne' promontory in Sliema and supervised by Philip Pace.
The first band to occupy a rehearsal room (or rather, transform an ex-ammunition depot) was punk outfit Abstrass, followed very quickly by hard rock band Acid.
The bands forming part of the AST community were given the opportunity to perform live regularly at the former Chapel (Centru Hin Hieles (St.Luke's Chapel) Tigne, Sliema.) situated within the barracks.
The AST community played a vital role in the Maltese music scene and spawned a great number of the bands that were active at the time. Some of the bands that were resident at Rokarja AST at some point or other include:
