Monterrey’s All-Female Rock Powerhouse, The Warning, Redefines Hard Rock with Global Impact

From the heart of Monterrey, Mexico, emerges The Warning—a formidable all-female rock trio composed of sisters Daniela, Paulina, and Alejandra Villarreal. Since their inception in 2013, these talented siblings have been breaking barriers and redefining the hard rock genre on a global scale.

Their journey began with a viral YouTube cover of Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” in 2014, performed when they were just 14, 12, and 9 years old, respectively. The performance garnered widespread attention, including praise from Metallica’s own Kirk Hammett, and led to an appearance on *The Ellen DeGeneres Show*. This exposure helped them raise funds to attend the prestigious Berklee College of Music, further honing their craft.

The Warning’s discography showcases their evolution as artists. Their debut EP, *Escape the Mind* (2015), and subsequent albums *XXI Century Blood* (2017) and *Queen of the Murder Scene* (2018) laid the foundation for their distinctive sound—a blend of hard rock, alternative, and metal influences. Their 2022 album, *Error*, marked a significant milestone, exploring themes of technology and human error, and featured the hit single “Money,” which reached the top 40 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart.

In June 2024, they released their fourth studio album, *Keep Me Fed*, which includes standout tracks like “More,” “S!CK,” and “Qué Más Quieres.” The album received critical acclaim and won the Best Rock Album of 2024 at The Folk N Rock Awards.

The Warning’s live performances have solidified their reputation as a powerhouse in the rock scene. They have shared stages with renowned acts such as Muse, Foo Fighters, Guns N’ Roses, and Imagine Dragons, and have graced major festivals including the MTV Video Music Awards and MTV Europe Music Awards.

Their influence extends beyond music. As young women in a traditionally male-dominated genre, The Warning serves as an inspiration, challenging stereotypes and empowering a new generation of female musicians. Their story is a testament to passion, perseverance, and the transformative power of music.
