Three siblings and a drummer making hard-edged pop punk since 2004.
For a quick sense of their sound, try "Panik" or "Leuchttürme." They're both good examples of what these brothers have been doing since 2004.
Madsen's music has that straightforward guitar-and-shout energy that connects directly with German rock audiences. Songs like "Panik" and "Mit Dem Moped Nach Madrid" show their mix of hard rock and pop punk in its simplest, most effective form. They've been at it for nearly two decades now, putting out eight studio albums and playing festivals while keeping that same basic lineup of three brothers and a drummer.
They formed in 2004 in Wentorf bei Hamburg and released their self-titled debut the next year, with "Lass Die Musik An" becoming their breakthrough single. The albums kept coming every few years, "Na Und?" in 2006, "Frieden im Krieg" in 2008, all the way to "Lichtjahre" in 2022, while they toured and occasionally faced controversy, like the 2012 track "Utopia" that drew political criticism.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
