Madsen

"Madsen" is a German rock band that hails from Priesseck, a section of Clenze in the Wendland. Three of the members are brothers with the surname Madsen, hence the band's name. Their music combines elements of pop, rock, indie and punk together with lyrics in German. The Madsen brothers began playing music at an early age. Towards the end of the 1990s, they had already been in two bands: Alice's Gun and Hoerstuatz. One group based itself upon the Hard rock genre, while the other experimented with hip hop music and crossover elements. In 2004, the band wanted to further develop their music and lyrics and choose to change their name to Madsen. Madsen's music contains elements of punk and rock, and includes sequences ranging from quiet reflection to passionate displays of emotion.
