Brooklyn's Best Bands

Well, it's no secret that the days of Manhattan being the home to struggling artists and musicians are long gone. The city is now overrun with guys in finance, foodies, and rich Europeans.

Native New York City rocker Julian Casablancas even criticized his home turf in a recent Pitchfork interview, saying "New York is like one bar/restaurant/Whole Foods/Starbucks thing now. You used to have a range of neighborhoods but now there's like two cool streets in Manhattan."
