Johnny Monaco – Overrated (2007)

When he’s not out performing live you’ll find Johnny Monaco holed up in his Chicago home studio crafting the perfect pop/rock gems that combine elements of British Invasion song craft with today’s latest studio trickery. This one time Enuff Z’Nuff lead guitarist/ frontman is influenced by the likes of Elvis Costello, The Beatles, Cheap Trick, Nirvana, Jellyfish, Oasis, Weezer, Radiohead, Head Automatica and more, Johnny’s music has a familiarity to it, yet is all together his own.
