Asa Ransom
From: New York City
RIYL: The Clash, Wild Beasts, Dappled Cities
full ep: Asa Ransom - The Gold EP
When I caught Asa Ransom live at The Delancey during CMJ 2008, thanks to a friend, I thought they'd be exploding onto the local scene in no time. But as it approaches the end of 2009, no such thing has happened. Asa Ransom continues to tour the country relentlessly, but haven't been able to put a dent in the local scene, sticking to mainly playing their shows at the diy venues. But with a sound more in line with later-era The Clash, they're not just another one of those lo-fi bands. There's no reason to believe that they won't be the next big Brooklyn band. They just need to catch that first break.
