502’s Concert

Deciding on a band name can be difficult, but the natural choice for cousins Ed Isola, Jonathan Ruiz and Jake Isola, was to pick something family-oriented. After kicking around several names, they settled on The 502s – a tribute to their first family house address, and a reminder of their earliest memories of being together. Moreover, it cements the band’s own positive self-ideal as a group of close companions performing together. Throwing shindigs, coming alive, and creating the party for which they’re already providing the soundtrack. They write fun and energetic songs that you could take on a road trip, or hear at a robust New Years Party where the lead singer smashes a pint of Guinness onstage (a true story). Coincidentally, 502 is also police code for drunk and disorderly conduct.

“The 502s are a charismatic indie folk band from Maitland, Florida and they’ve got enough energy to take on the world.” – No Depression
