Carmen Menza and Magneeto is the acoustic pop rock band created by singer/songwriter Carmen Menza and joined by Brian Hartig, Sammy Davenport and Mark Menza. They've been playing and recording since her days in Denton, Texas while studying jazz at the University of North Texas. Carmen fronts the band with an unwavering confidence in her ability to deliver a hook and have you singing with her. They blur the lines between pop rock, folk rock and jazz leanings.
"Magneeto's got pop, undeniably. It's in every juicy hook and lead singer-songwriter Carmen Menza's sweeter-than-sweet voice. Derivative of the Big '80s, with all its poppy synth lines, snazzy beats, and really strong hooks, sung by a girl-II-woman? On paper, yes. In practice, far from it. One of the greatest statements a guy like me can make about a band is that said band has a unique sound."
