book worm Louis escapes manipulative boyfriend, who relentlessly continues to call and text, even though he has scampered off to tour with Harry and his band. He becomes their photographer and they slowly realize they’ve been in love all along.

“We’re three sisters from Monterrey, México. We love rock, we love music.”

They started videotaping their rehearsals and uploading them to their YouTube channel, but it wasn’t until they uploaded a cover for the song “Enter Sandman” by the band Metallica. This one broke the internet.

Band-Members:

Daniela “Dany” Villarreal Velez: guitars, piano, lead and backing vocals

Paulina “Pau” Villarreal Velez: drums, piano, lead and backing vocals

Alejandra “Ale” Villarreal Velez: bass, piano, backing vocals

Up to this day, this video still gets copied and reposted in social media and goes viral over and over again to a cumulative total of over 70 million views, officially “liked”, shared and commented by members of Metallica themselves. Fueled by this success and the fuzz it created, others of their covers got public acclaim by bands like Guns’n’Roses, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Coldplay, Muse and Twisted Sister.

Kirk Hammett: “The drummer kicks maximum ass !”

Muse: “Love to see it!”

Lzzy Hale: “You gals blew my mind on DeTour today! So happy that the world of rock n roll is safe in your hands! Much love to you all... let’s Actual-Tour on the otherside!”

Stevie Aiello: “This is sick!!”

In 2015 they were invited to the Ellen DeGeneres Show where they performed a cover of the song Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne. They also received financial aid to attend Berklee College of Music.

They presented two TEDx Talks at the University of Nevada, first in January 2016 (after Berklee) and then in January 2017 (after recording their debut album), telling the story of their journey as a band of sisters in between songs.

In April 2018, they opened for The Killers at Arena Monterrey during their Mexican tour.

Throughout the first half of the year, they continued writing music and over time, the idea to create a concept album following a storyline took form. Fascinated by psychological topics, like they already explored in certain songs on their first album, they decided to take the listener on a journey through the mind of a young woman, who drifts from unrequitted love to despair, obsession, schizophrenia, violence, murder and finally her own inescapable death. The outcome was their second album QUEEN OF THE MURDER SCENE and they rocked the Lunario stage in Mexico City.

2019 was marked by further live performances throughout the world to promote their QUEEN OF THE MURDER SCENE album. Later that year, they played a sold out show at the “Foro DiDi” in their hometown of Monterrey, where they premiered their new song “Narcisista”, the first one in Spanish, which quickly became a fan favorite.

The band started to get into the focus of magazines like the Rolling Stone as well as music business and TV executives.

The plans for their first extensive North American tour were already set. Beginning in March there would have been 23 dates all over the USA and Canada. Unfortunately the COVID-19 pandemic put a spoke in their wheel. Nevertheless, they had the chance to play two times more in the sold out Whisky a Gogo, at the Crossroads Festival in Brownsville, Texas, at the Vive Latino Festival and to open for the Mexican star-band Moderatto and Stryper before the public performances had to be stopped.

“Due to the COVID-19 and the posponement our North American tour we decided to take our music to you in your homes in this livestream! LET’S DO THIS!🤟🏻”

However, on 2020 The Warning signed a five-record deal with Lava Records and became the first Mexican band under a US major label’s wings.

Later that year, they entered a studio in New Jersey to record their third full length album with star producer David Bendeth.

On 2021 The Warning released a new EP called “MAYDAY” , that includes six songs from their upcoming album, accompanied by four video clips for the songs:

“CHOKE”

“EVOLVE”

“MARTIRIO”

“DISCIPLE”

They also took part in Metallica's project “The Metallica Blacklist” in order to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their legendary "Black Album" and recorded a new rendition of “Enter Sandman” together with Canadian Grammy winner Alessia Cara for it. All profits were donated to charities. This cover version was featured later on as the background music for the trailers to Marvel's video game “Midnight Suns”. They also got invited by Foo Fighters to open their show in Mexico City in March '22.

Recently they performed at the Rockville festival (Daytona Beach, Florida) in which it was their first invitation to a mega festival in the United States. There they shared the bill with Metallica, Disturbed, Deftones, Nine Inch Nails and other great bands of the genre.
