The 502s - EP is a rousing debut that personifies the folk explosion from the past few years highlighted by booming stomps, upbeat tunes, and melodious gang vocals that ooze camaraderie. Instrumentally, everything you’d expect is there. It’s got kick drum, banjo, harmonica, trumpet, mandolin, accordion, and of course great harmonies. The release exemplifies a mixture of the raw energy of a young Mumford and Sons, crossed with the DIY attitude of The Lumineers, sprinkled with the heartfelt tunes of The Head and the Heart.
