The Warning on Breakthrough Year Crowned with Latin Grammy Nomination
By [Your Name] | Music & Entertainment News | July 2025
In what has been nothing short of a breakthrough year, Mexican rock band The Warning has reached an extraordinary milestone—earning a nomination for a Latin Grammy Award, a recognition that not only affirms their global ascent but also cements their place as one of the most exciting rock acts emerging from Latin America today.
Comprising three sisters—Daniela “Dany” Villarreal (guitar and vocals), Paulina “Pau” Villarreal (drums and vocals), and Alejandra “Ale” Villarreal (bass and backing vocals)—The Warning has taken the rock scene by storm with their bold sound, captivating performances, and uncompromising musical vision. The Latin Grammy nomination comes as a crowning moment for a year that saw them play sold-out shows across continents, release critically acclaimed music, and earn the respect of fans and critics alike.
From Monterrey to the World
Hailing from Monterrey, Mexico, The Warning first garnered attention nearly a decade ago when their cover of Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” went viral on YouTube. What started as a childhood passion between sisters evolved into a serious musical pursuit, and over the years, the trio has worked relentlessly to hone their craft. By 2025, they are no longer viral sensations—they are respected artists in the global rock circuit.
Their rise has been steady but explosive. With each new album, The Warning has proven their songwriting maturity, musical complexity, and emotional depth. Their sound—a fierce blend of alternative rock, hard rock, and progressive influences—has drawn comparisons to legendary bands, while still retaining a style uniquely their own.
A Year of Milestones
The road to the Latin Grammy nomination has been paved with major milestones throughout 2025. Earlier this year, The Warning dropped their latest studio album, “Keep Me Fed,” a record that immediately drew critical acclaim and debuted at the top of the Latin Rock charts. The album marked a significant evolution in their sound—more aggressive, more refined, and deeply personal. It tackled themes of identity, emotional burnout, empowerment, and vulnerability, connecting with a broader audience than ever before.
Songs like “MORE,” “S!CK,” “Hell You Call A Dream,” and “Qué Más Quieres” showcased the band’s lyrical growth and sonic boldness. “MORE,” with its relentless rhythm and biting commentary on societal expectations, became an anthem for young listeners across Latin America and beyond. Meanwhile, “Qué Más Quieres” saw the sisters exploring their bilingual identity, effortlessly merging English and Spanish to connect with fans across linguistic and cultural boundaries.
The album’s success was also powered by strong visual storytelling. Music videos, shot with cinematic flair, brought their narratives to life. The Warning’s creative direction and attention to detail helped elevate their work into a complete artistic experience.
The Latin Grammy Nomination
In June 2025, The Warning received their first Latin Grammy nomination in the category of Best Rock Album, a nod that sent waves of excitement through their fanbase, affectionately known as “The Warning Army.” The Latin Recording Academy acknowledged the band’s “bold vision, musical excellence, and cultural impact” in its official statement, calling Keep Me Fed “a landmark work in the evolution of Latin rock.”
For the Villarreal sisters, the nomination is not only a validation of years of dedication, but also a symbol of representation in a genre that has often been male-dominated. In interviews following the announcement, drummer and lead vocalist Pau Villarreal expressed deep gratitude:
“We grew up dreaming of moments like this—not for the recognition, but for the chance to be heard. To be seen by the Latin Grammy community means everything to us and to so many young girls out there who dream of making music without compromise.”
Impact Beyond the Stage
The Warning’s rise is not only about music—it’s about breaking barriers. As an all-female band from Mexico playing hard rock on the international stage, they challenge stereotypes and redefine what it means to be a Latin rock band in the 21st century.
Their success has inspired a new generation of musicians across Latin America, especially young women looking for role models in a traditionally male space. In a time where Latin pop and reggaeton often dominate headlines, The Warning’s nomination highlights the richness and diversity within the Latin music industry.
They have also used their platform to speak on mental health, creative freedom, and the importance of authenticity in a social media-driven world. Their transparency and emotional honesty—especially in interviews and fan interactions—have earned them respect beyond just their music.
Touring the Globe
Following their album release, The Warning embarked on an extensive world tour, selling out venues from Mexico City to Los Angeles, Buenos Aires to Berlin. Their live shows have been praised for their intensity, raw energy, and the electric chemistry between the three sisters. Whether performing in intimate clubs or massive arenas, The Warning delivers a show that’s both technically impressive and emotionally charged.
Their 2025 tour has included major festival appearances, such as Vive Latino, Rock al Parque, and even a surprise guest appearance at Lollapalooza Argentina, where they shared the stage with rock legends. They’ve also opened for bands like Muse and Foo Fighters, earning admiration from peers and veterans alike.
What Comes Next?
With the Latin Grammy nomination now under their belt, expectations are high for The Warning’s next moves. Insiders suggest the band is already writing new material, possibly preparing for another album or collaborative projects. There are also rumors of a potential documentary chronicling their rise—from childhood jam sessions in Monterrey to international rock stardom.
The Latin Grammy Awards ceremony, set to take place in November 2025, is expected to be one of the most-watched in recent years, with The Warning’s nomination already generating significant buzz. Whether they take home the trophy or not, the recognition itself marks a transformative moment in their journey.
As Alejandra Villarreal put it during a press conference last month:
“This is more than just a nomination. It’s a sign that rock en español is alive and evolving. We’re proud to be part of that evolution—and we’re just getting started.”
A Legacy in the Making
The Warning’s story is a testament to the power of passion, family, and perseverance. From self-funded EPs and long hours in rehearsal rooms to headlining international stages and receiving prestigious nominations, the Villarreal sisters have built their career on grit and talent.
Their Latin Grammy nod is a well-earned acknowledgment of their artistry, but also a beacon for what lies ahead. With their fearless approach to music and a growing global following, The Warning is poised to lead a new era of Latin rock—one that’s loud, unapologetic, and impossible to ignore.
As the world watches their next steps, one thing is clear: The Warning is no longer just the future of rock—they are its vibrant, powerful present.
