As Northside Festival wound down on Sunday, we took the chance to do what the festival was originally intended for: check out some of Brooklyn’s best local bands.

pow wow had the crowd at Spike Hill dancing to their bouncy, well-crafted pop.

El Jezel played powerful, entrancing shoegaze anchored by Jess Flanagan’s soaring vocals.

Household‘s lo-fi post-punk with female vocal harmonies will appeal to fans of Grass Widow.

The seven members of synth pop collective Neighbors danced their way through their highly engaging set of singer Noah Stitleman’s smart, catchy and gorgeously arranged songs.
