Hello! I'm a musician moving to the city at the end of the month and I am EXTREMELY eager to dive into the local scene and go to shows.
I want to know: what are your favorite local bands? What band makes you think "wow this band should be bigger?"
I found a website that pits song vs. song so I added the 14 studio albums into it. Have some fun and kill some time if you'd like!

This magical place is basically a gym for musicians. For a monthly membership fee, you get access to fully backlined rehearsal rooms, a gear room, a staff of musicians/industry folks, and lots of different workshops and classes.
I obviously love it, especially because I play the drums and it's great to just walk in, sit down, and play. Does NYC have any similar organizations?
