Crimson Calamity has released All in the Cards and from the first track on, they prove this isn't your average female country group. Lauren Harding and Mallory Trunnell form Crimson Clamity and have a hard hitting, unique country infused sound that feels like they have taken classic country music and made it modern again.
The EP opens with "Dead Man's Hand" and this song showcases the sharp harmonizes that are featured on the debut and that the ladies have a hard hitting yet electrifying style with their vocal delivery. This type of music demands attention because it's bold, loud and dynamic. The instrumentals that have been chosen to frame their vocals not only compliment but add in that older country feel.
From "Dead Man's Hand" the EP seamlessly transitions into "Rock Bottom" which shows off the more rock inspired side to Crimson Calamity. "Bottom" also showcases how complex and catchy the lyrics are. The instrumentals help to bring out the passion within the lyrics. Harding and Trunnell have the ability to be impressive vocalists solo but when they come together with this rock undertone, their harmony feels modern and natural.
At times this feels like an Miranda Lambert release because how powerful and focused both Trunnell and Clamity are with their performance and being compared to an artist like Lambert is only a compliment. They are proud of their sound and want to deliver it in an aggressive, no apologizes way.
The EP ends with "Line 'Em Up & Shoot 'Em Down" and "Pistols" which are a continuation of the musical evolution that was started at the top of the album. These powerful country females are ones to watch in the country industry.
