Hailing from an area in rural North Germany which is mostly known for regular protests against nuclear waste, MADSEN are not exactly newcomers. Most of the band’s members have played together in various outfits since 1996, covering styles as diverse as punk rock and hip-hop/crossover.

In 2004, they finally found their musical identity – focussing on German lyrics and a characteristic guitar sound – and renamed their band MADSEN, which made perfect sense as three out of five members are brothers: Sebastian (*1981), Sascha (*1983) and Johannes (*1979) … MADSEN.
