“Frighteningly strong nordicana – profound and gloomy but with light seeping in through the cracks”

– SIDE33

Bound by Law are the trailblazers of the Danish americana revolution serving a novel fusion of nordic attitude and outlaw country. Led by the resonating baritone vocals and thought-provoking lyrics of Mads Wilhjelm, and complemented by the impressive blues-harp skills of Jon Rahbek, Bound by Law creates a cocktrail of country, blues and rock that is truly their own.


Bound by Law’s shows are renowned for their intensity and sweat-soaked passion, that see audiences stomping and howling together with the band. It comes as no surprise that their dedicated fan base traverses the length and breadth of Denmark to catch the band in action.

“A word of advice: DO NOT pass up a chance to see Bound by Law live. Even if country music isn’t your ‘thing’, these guys will blow your mind!”
