The Warning is a Mexican hard rock power trio consisting of the Villarreal Vélez sisters: Daniela, Paulina, and Alejandra. Formed in Monterrey in 2013, the band transitioned from a viral YouTube sensation (noted for their Metallica covers) into a critically respected original act.
Their sound identity is defined by technical proficiency, particularly Paulina's complex drumming and Alejandra's prominent, distorted bass lines, which provide a heavy foundation for Daniela's riff-heavy guitar work. Their career arc shows a steady maturation from the indie-funded Escape the Mind EP to the sophisticated, concept-driven ERROR and the aggressive Keep Me Fed. Culturally, they represent a significant breakthrough for Mexican rock on the global stage, successfully touring with major acts like Muse and Guns N' Roses. Critical consensus highlights their 'old soul' approach to songwriting combined with a 21st-century production aesthetic. They occupy a unique space between traditional hard rock, alternative metal, and modern pop-rock sensibilities, appealing to both older rock purists and a younger, digital-native audience.
