An amazing and brutally accurate social commentary written and performed by teenagers (Pre-teen in Ale's case) They were rockstars from the very beginning!

The Dakota Bar performance from January 2018 was pro-recorded and has excellent sound and visuals. You will find all of their first album and some of their first CD. And I did the opposite hair thing. I'm retired, 66 years old and haven't cut my hair in four years. My 95-year-old dad hates it.

They are remarkable, for sure!

[@williamburkholder769]

And the same album features several other amazing songs. A year later, they wrote a friggin' rock novel, *Queen of the Murder Scene.* YES, they are exceptional people.

[@MrJest2]

I've kind of thought this tune was indeed their "Masterpiece"... in the traditional apprenticeship/guild sort of sense. The crafting that demonstrated one had truly mastered their art, and could then go on to bigger and better things.

[@larrybutler8948]

It really wasn't futuristic, it is now.

[@DarrellW_UK]

This was all about the media, in particular how so many people spend so much time on their cell phones! The end part is about their awakening to the fact that they no longer were communicating to each other. Bearing in mind their age when this was conceived it’s nothing short of remarkable, the album was more or less 2 years in the making so a lot of it would be written in their early teens. This is a great album but Queen of the murder scene, the next one is a concept album which must be watched and listened to in sequence to really appreciate it. There’s more good tracks on this album, Black holes and Shattered heart are 2 of my best favourites

[@TheBjhauhnar]

From XXICB, yes, both Black Holes and Shattered Hearts for sure. But, 'Unmendable' and 'Show me the light' are the two song that lately i'v listen (esp thesedays). QOTMS is magnefico :) one hell of a ride

I am reminded of this video when my brother takes me and my son for a nice ride out of the city. I just love looking at the sights passing by. I look at my son and he is focused on his phone. I tell him to look outside and enjoy the view. He replies: “Boring!” Sitting on a bench waiting for a bus to take me and my son home after school, he was laughing while texting. I asked him who he was texting. He replied, “My friend at school. He’s over there.” He pointed to the boy sitting on the other end of the bench. I exclaimed, “OMG! The Warning was right!” My son texted his friend, “I knew he was going to say that.” They both laughed and continued texting.

I think I'm firmly in the age range to justify saying 'kids today'. Am I right? :)

Ey, amigo, muy buenas las reacciones a The Warning. Las hermanas son una bisagra en el rock de estos últimos tiempos. Han irrumpido en la escena musical con su lirica y estructuras compositivas de una manera contundente. La verdad que las hermanas Villarreal se lo han ganado en buena ley. Por la dedicación, el esfuerzo y la voluntad que le han puesto desde muy niñas Seguramente, han dejado cosas propias de las niñas y las adolescentes para dedicarle el tiempo al dominio del instrumento y la comprensión de la música en general. La mayoría de los que nos consideramos parte de su The Warning Army TWA, hemos recorrido su evolucion como músicas y artistas. Entonces sabemos de lo qué estamos haboando cuando hablamos de The Warning. Veo que te sientes orgulloso de que The Warning sea tu banda favorita y déjame decirte amigo mío, yo también me siento orgulloso de ser fan de estas hermanas. El Multiverso The Warning es enorme y hay mucho por recorrer, pero además, hay mucho de lo que habrá de venir. Ya que si bien hace diez años que las hermanas tienen esa comunión con la música, ellas son muy jóvenes aun. Es decir, tenemos mucho mas The Warning por disfrutar, todavia. Y lo bueno es que vamos a ser sorprendidos en cada nueva cancion porque a las hermanas les gusta experimentar. Ellas nacieron con la música como jugando. Aprendieron de qué se trata la música jugando. Al parecer le encontraron el lado divertido, incluso el componer para ellas fue un descubrimiento asombroso. La creación. Crear música. Decir lo que piensan y sienten y ponerles letra y música. Como dijo Paulina en una entrevista: "las canciones son como nuestros hijos". Hay tanta humanidad en todo eso. Bueno amigo, gracias por tus reacciones y comentarios. Saludos desde la Patagonia Argentina. The Warning nos une.

Knew the song and seen it performed life but never seen the video, it was amazing. To me the video is about how technology, specially been connected to the internet all the time (KZbin, Facebook, Instagram, etc.) has blinded us from the real World. It's actually ironic how that same internet opened our eyes to The Warning. Rock has been SAVED🤘🤘🤘

To quote Paulina: it is about the 21st century and some things they’d like to change about it. They are beyond wicked-smart, observant and talented. Just plain genius.

[@spaceknave]

Such a great song. It has some real classic rock vibes but as usual, I can't pinpoint specifically anything it sounds like. As for Pau's drumming style, it's always mentioned that she is more economical now and doesn't break as many sticks, but that early style with the high raised arms is an actual style that has a name (which i can't remember). Andrew Rooney, a pro drumming teacher and contributing writer to Modern Drummer magazine has mentioned it before. He loves Pau, by the way, and has reacted to TW a number of times.

[@RockandRollRelic]

I subscribe to Mr Rooney's channel - I enjoy him quite a bit. It just makes me smile to watch Pau smash on that crash cymbal. The first time I saw her in full action was during that TED talk video. She keeps her elbow bent but just wails on it! Always fun to watch!

[@LesDexia13]

The band first worked with video director Abraham Marcos when he directed their first pro-shot music video, a stunning cover of the Foo Fighter's "The Pretender" that was posted in January 2016 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5unnHSklrmJjLs - When the video was shot Ale had just turned 11, and her sisters would soon turn 16 and 14.

If you haven't yet, you should check out their videos for the song "Hunter". There is a live video from the "Teatro" concert and an acoustic version with Dany with an Ovation guitar, Ale on an acoustic bass, and Pau (standing) while using an electronic drum pad. There is a live video with Ale singing, but it's poor quality (probably from a fan in the audience). You say they are prone to "dark" lyrics - the lyrics for "Hunter" are down right scary! Song is originally from the "Queen of the Murder Scene" album.

[@SkittleKicksPlays]

One song that is truly mind blowing is Martirio (Martyrdom), and I highly recommend checking it out. The official video was hell for them due to the temps, and the costumes. The live version can hit like a ton of bricks too. It's sung in their native language and though I don't fluently speak Spanish I still get tears welling up. Dany's voice is from another world. The Warning's music is pure ear candy! Pau has a gorgeous song called Breathe (bonus track on Error) and it is a tear jerker. Just her and her piano. You need to watch the first time she ever performed it, because it is truly priceless. It wasn't even a song she wanted to perform and probably not include on the record because it was so personal. 23 is another gem with heart wrenching lyrics (one of many Pau sings lead on). The Warning will be bigger than Metallica and Iron Maiden. While touring is not what it once was back when i was growing up, and MTV is a dead network, The Warning Army is global and very passionate about the band. They have 3 albums, 3 EPs, toured with the biggest names in rock (including their idols, Muse), they are younger than those bands were when they started (Dany turned 24 Jan 30, Pau just turned 21 Feb 5, and Ale turned 19 Dec 13.), and are the most hungry I've ever seen in a band. They are nearing legendary status just due to these simple factors. It's incredible. Welcome to The Warning family!⚡⚡⚡🤘🤘🤘

i always wonder how many others notice the number on the indoctrination pod the baby is placed into... many of us think it may be a shout out to YES and their 1983 album _"90125"_ which was released two years after Yes broke up... you can find a few links to that album in its entirety... not really a music video as it is only the music but you can also find OMVs for some of the songs on that album... the OMV for the first song on that YES album also has a similar theme as this video with "culprits" and "recovery agents"... the video and whole album is a great trip back in time... so back to this original video by DPA/TW... yes, the imagery is awesome and extremely thought provoking... there's a lot being said in there... one of the main things is about taking a leap of faith and leaving things behind... this is absolutely a track about social media, technology, and how they affect people in ways they don't know or understand... in this case, everyone is so wrapped up in their devices and social media that they cannot see what is going on around them... thus the blindfolds... notice, too, the colors used... when someone takes their blindfold off, the world lights up in the prettier colors of reality... the video was nominated for and won numerous awards back in 2017... - LA CINEFEST Semifinalist 2017 - Feel The Reel IFF, Audience Award October 2017 - Official Selection Austin Music Video Festival 2017 - Best Music Video Nominee Pantalla de Cristal Festival 2017 - I Filmmaker International Film Festival Official Selection 2017 - Best Script / Narrative Music Videos Pantalla de Cristal Festival 2017 - Best Music Video Around Films International Film Festival Barcelona April 2017 (not listed in any specific order) anyway, great reaction... yes, you're not the only one to be totally shocked at that one point in the video! 😹 TWA ⚡🤘😸🤘⚡ TWA

How else was little Pau able to get out a nice full sound back then? 😂. I like how they used adult act. It gives the video a sense of maturity.

[@MrJest2]

I always kind of figured her "animal style" came from her being so young - and small - when she started. It was precisely that: hammering away with "big" motion was the only way she could get the proper sound out of her drums!! Even when she grew up a bit and was more easily able to make the hits, her old habits from when she was seven years old stuck with her until fairly recently when she started consciously developing more efficient refinement.

[@ronaldmorgan7632]

I would say to look back at "Runaway" and "Copper Bullets" from their Dakota Bar show. Then, maybe "Queen of the Murder Scene" and "Dust to Dust" from the Teatro show.

Dust to Dust drew me down The Warning rabbithole, but this cemented the entrance shut behind me. How many well known bands would like a music video as well done as this in their catalog? Yet, this was done by a small crew on a limited budget, with a song composed by three barely teen age girls. In a second language.

[@RockandRollRelic]

This was quite an accomplishment for whipper-snappers :)

[@ricks5360]

I see new reactors focusing on the Metropolitan live show. TWA always recommend the show because it so incredible but the magic of these Rock Stars is how good they were from a very young age. The covers they play are down right nuts at 14,12,& 9 years old. When they started writing their own songs the began their rise to today. Jump around a little. Check out their Foo Fighters covers. My favorite show before the Metropolitan is live at the Dakota bar. Top quality rock songs one after another and no bad or mediocre fillers. There are also some great songs from their Whiskey A Go Go gigs. And what I consider a true masterpiece is their Queen of the Murder scene concept album live at Lanario. There is just so much top quality music from TW. Enjoy the ride. 🤘🔥

Only will a solo be in a song if it is needed. Dany can shred, but, again, only if it will make the song better. Beginning of the video...unused skateboard, bike laying on the pavement, two boys on smart phones wearing blindfolds that only let them see what social media wants them to see. Man in car taking blindfold off alerts thugs to come and get him(notice he is gaged to keep him silent. Girl on swing with phone, Mother on phone not watching her, Both are blindfolded. Couple sitting at table wearing blindfolds, texting each other, not speaking to each other. Babies blindfolded and placed in indoctrination chambers. The man on the roof sees how they are being manipulated and steps off the roof as a 'leap of faith'. Hits the ground and starts a rebellion. Or maybe not.

Did you say you thought you had seen almost everything that was out by them? I think you need to clarify. First of all, therre's so much out that it's highly unlikely that's true. But to the extent it is, then you are not reaction, you are reviewing. So, what's up?

[@elgonwilliams7624]

Dany limits her solos to whatever is best for the song. They do not upstage one another, so any solos are limited to whatever was designed for the song. If they song doesn't have a solo, it didn't need one. I love solos, as a rule, but I believe in the 80s and 90s it seemed like everyone in the band had to take a solo for god knows what reason other than padding their egos. This lead to Rock becoming more repetitious and boring to the masses and resulted in the decline of its appeal (not that hip hop and pop music isn't repetitive, too). I find it a refreshing quality that TW supports one another on and off stage and they carefully design their music to be the best presentation of their ideas and music.
