There’s not much more to explain: MADSEN is a brand of its own. Their current album ‘Hollywood’ entered the German charts directly at number 1, all concerts of their ongoing “Hollywood Tour Part I” are sold out - but for the band, this is no reason to rest on their laurels, as MADSEN have just announced the second part of their “Hollywood Tour”.The band, consisting of the eponymous brothers Sascha, Johannes, and Sebastian, along with their childhood friend Niko Maurer, has been one of the most successful live and rock acts in the country for almost 20 years. It might not be easy to find a person who hasn’t seen MADSEN live at least once in the last 20 years. One could say that the stage is simply an essential part of the band. However, if one only reduces MADSEN to their live entertainment qualities, it does not do justice to the band: Their ninth studio album ‘Hollywood’, released in August 2023, underscores the band’s status as one of the most important rock bands in the country, also on record. With songs full of empathy, love, strength, and clear edges, MADSEN prove on ‘Hollywood’ that German-language guitar music is anything but trivial.
Whether it’s political statements or big emotions that sometimes draw on the good kind of kitsch, MADSEN’s songs ignite emotions and quickly feel like new favourite songs. Additionally, and this is important to mention in today’s time: The family-run company MADSEN is a zone where everyone should feel comfortable, and where disrespectful and inappropriate behaviour is not tolerated. Few bands have managed to remain uncorrupted by the often-ruthless music business and to stay true to their character, whether they were equipped with the biggest major budgets or, as of now, founding their own label Goodbye Logik Records for the latest album - MADSEN is a family affair, and we all get to be a part of it. That’s something this fabulous band from the Wendland region has achieved that others can only aspire to.
