The Warning (Mexico)

Here are a few songs from the album Queen of the Murder Scene by The Warning (Mexico). Check out their official biography from Facebook.

Biography: “We’re three sisters from Monterrey, México. We love music.”

It all started back in 2005 when Daniela was five and Paulina was three years old and had their first experience with music when attending a summer camp with music and theatre activities. They liked it very much and started attending regularly to music and drama classes and about a year later they both enrolled in piano lessons. They listened from children’s songs and lullabies to straight up Rock N’ Roll AC/DC and new stuff like Muse.

Fast forward a couple years later in 2007 when Daniela turned 8 and Paulina 6 and the most popular video game in the world was ROCK BAND. This was a huge influence on which instruments the girls would start playing next. Daniela, since she always grabbed the toy guitar used on the video game, thought it would be a great idea to take on the strings without quitting her piano lessons. Paulina felt it was a total injustice that her older sister could start playing another instrument and she wasn’t. Again, thanks to ROCK BAND, her parents noticed she had a great sense of rhythm and coordination, so they enrolled her in drum lessons where she could play on a real drum set.

Alejandra, being the youngest, had a whole different approach to music. She had to wait until she was five years old to enroll in piano and music lessons. Being raised in a house full of music and the role models that her older sisters came to be for her always kept her motivated to take a leap into music properly. It took her a lot of music-video-binging for her to realize she wanted to try out bass guitar, because she really loved the sound it made.

“Many people assume our parents are musicians, but they are not. They just share with us our love and passion for music.”

The girls never planned to form a band, especially since Alejandra was really small (in age and size). The girls just liked playing music. It was a Christmas Holiday’s school festival where Daniela and Paulina decided to play together a song that they had been working on separately. Of course, they needed a bass guitar to complete the power trio and thought it would be a great idea to have Alejandra play with them regardless of her being smaller. The girls played even better than they expected and Alejandra could handle the bass lines as if she had been playing for years.

They satisfaction and enjoyment of that first musical experience on stage was so big that they started practicing more songs together, setting higher goals for each on their instrument, goals that they saw and heard in music from the Rock N’ Roll bands they loved listening to.

They started videotaping those rehearsals and uploading them to their YouTube channel, where they had a few followers and with time started gaining more. But it wasn’t until they uploaded a cover for the song “Enter Sandman” by the band Metallica. This one broke the internet.

In just a few days it went viral and millions of people from all around the world became hardcore fans of THE WARNING, setting of a series of events that would kick the girls into the musical scene in a way nobody expected.

In January 2015 they recorded their first EP with songs written and performed by them. Playing and experimenting through different styles and genres they found that hard rock and metal was the kind of music they loved playing.

By this time, the sisters had a dream: attending a five-week summer course at Berklee College of Music. They created a GoFundMe campaign to raise the money they needed to go attend the summer course. The Ellen DeGeneres Show found the girl’s viral video online and invited them to appear in the show for an interview and performance. Thanks to the huge support that Ellen showed to the girls and the significant fan base they had gained in their social media, they raised the money to attend to Berklee, where the talk show also followed and documented the girl’s experience during their summer course for EllenTube.

Inspired by THE WARNING’s achievements by this time, the American video game developers Harmonix Music Systems were aware that their Rock Band video game had been the catalyst for this online phenomena, so they reached out to the girls, invited them to visit their facilities and included their single Free Falling in the latest version of the game, Rock Band 4.

FUN FACT: During their visit at Harmonix they were asked by the developers to play their own song on the new Rock Band 4 console.

By this time they started receiving offers to play in different venues around the U.S.A. and México. During the time of these shows and different stages they started the songwriting process for their first LP.

In mid-2016 they started a GoFundMe campaign to raise money and produce their first album independently. During 2016 they worked in the recordings, editing and mixing of 13 songs written by them and included in their first studio LP: XXI CENTURY BLOOD.

The funding campaign was successful and “XXI CENTURY BLOOD” was released on March 27th, 2017 along with a music video for their first single also titled “XXI Century Blood”.

The album was successful. People from all around the world were listening to and buying the album, to the point of getting tons of international fans and some of them even came over to Mexico just to see them play live.

The Warning has grown a lot since then. In 2017 they were invited to open for Def Leppard in Mexico City and Guadalajara. They also played in the Mother of All Rock Festival along with bands like Def Leppard, Alice Cooper, Vince Neil, Tesla, among others. In 2018 they opened two dates for The Killers in Monterrey and played in the Hell&Heaven festival in Mexico City and ForceFest in Teotihuacán, two of the most important Rock festivals in Latin America to amazing response. They also made a Mexico tour “Power Trio Tour” along with argentinian band “Eruca Sativa”.

During the second half of 2017 and first half of 2018 they worked on what would be their second full-length studio album. In summer 2018 they launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the album and keep the project independent. The campaign was a huge success and in august 2018 they recorded their second album “Queen Of The Murder Scene” in SOGA Studios in Cuernavaca, Mexico.

“Queen Of The Murder Scene” was released Novermber 25th 2018, the band debuted the album live that same date on a sold out show at Lunario in Mexico City.
