Carmen Menza and Magneeto is the sexy guitar driven pop rock band that was created by singer/songwriter Carmen Menza. Brian Hartig and Drew Phelps add their signature as the rhythm section that becomes Magneeto. They started weaving their musical energy in the sleepy college town of 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, indie 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." Anthony Mariani –Associate Editor Ft. Worth Weekly
