Greetings, rock warriors of the USA! This is a massive tribute to The Warning, the electrifying power trio from Monterrey, Mexico, who are redefining rock with their raw, explosive sound. Daniela “Dany” Villarreal (guitar, lead vocals, piano), Paulina “Pau” Villarreal (drums, vocals, piano), and Alejandra “Ale” Villarreal (bass, backing vocals, piano) are a sonic force, and their bassist, Ale, has captured hearts worldwide with her thunderous grooves, including mine as an EDM producer with a lifelong love for metal. Growing up on Metallica, Iron Maiden, and Black Sabbath, I found my musical soul in the heavy, pulsing basslines of tracks like “Orion” and “War Pigs.” That same energy fuels my EDM tracks, where bass is king, driving the rhythm like a heartbeat. Ale’s basslines in The Warning’s songs like “Choke” and “S!CK” hit like an EDM drop, bridging my metal roots and electronic present, making her my favorite member of this unstoppable band. When she followed me on Instagram (@jimmychillathrilla) after their Atlanta show at The Masquerade on July 12, 2025, it was a moment that sparked this essay, a celebration of The Warning’s music and Ale’s seismic impact. Written for fans across the USA—from Atlanta’s buzzing music scene to Miami’s neon nights, Seattle’s grunge clubs to Nashville’s music hub, Chicago’s rock clubs to Austin’s live music capital, Boston’s historic venues to San Francisco’s indie scene, Portland’s creative vibe to Los Angeles’ star-studded stages, Denver’s mountain music scene to New York’s electric energy, Philadelphia’s gritty venues to Phoenix’s desert rock scene, Houston’s vibrant clubs to Orlando’s sunny stages, Dallas’s rockin’ venues to San Diego’s coastal vibe, Cleveland’s rock ‘n’ roll heart to Detroit’s gritty music scene, Charlotte’s growing music scene to Tampa’s energetic venues, Raleigh’s eclectic clubs to Pittsburgh’s raw venues, Minneapolis’s vibrant scene to Las Vegas’s dazzling stages, St. Louis’s soulful clubs to Kansas City’s heartland rock—this tribute is packed with stories, bass-heavy insights, and activities to fuel your rock spirit. Crank the volume to eleven, and let’s dive into The Warning’s revolution and Ale’s bass thunder! 🤘

My Metal Roots and EDM Bass Love: Why Ale’s My Favorite

Before diving into The Warning’s epic journey, let’s rewind to my own musical roots. Growing up in the USA, I was the kid blasting Metallica’s Master of Puppets, Iron Maiden’s Number of the Beast, and Black Sabbath’s Paranoid on repeat. I’d headbang in my room, lost in Cliff Burton’s intricate basslines on “Orion,” Steve Harris’s galloping grooves in “Run to the Hills,” and Geezer Butler’s heavy low-end in “War Pigs.” Metal was more than music—it was a rebellion, a fire that made me feel unstoppable. Those basslines were the pulse, driving the chaos of thrash and heavy metal, giving every riff its raw power. I’d spend hours air-guitaring to “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” mimicking Harris’s runs in “The Trooper,” or feeling Butler’s drones in “Iron Man,” dreaming of rocking stages with my heroes. I’d grab a broom as a makeshift bass, plucking imaginary strings to “Battery,” “Hallowed Be Thy Name,” or “Children of the Grave,” my bedroom a concert hall where I was the star, the walls shaking with every riff. That metal energy shaped me, and it evolved when I discovered EDM.

In my EDM career, I found that same fire in bass-heavy beats—those 808 drops, gritty synth lines, and subwoofer-shaking lows that make a club explode. Bass is the soul of EDM, tying the rhythm to your heartbeat, making bodies move and spirits soar. I’d spend nights in my studio, tweaking synths to craft the perfect wobble, layering kicks and snares to ignite crowds, inspired by the low-end power of metal. Tracks like Skrillex’s “Bangarang,” Zomboy’s “Nuclear,” or Excision’s “X Rated” echoed the intensity of Metallica’s “Sad But True,” Pantera’s “Walk,” or Megadeth’s “Peace Sells.” The connection was clear: whether a metal riff or an EDM drop, bass was the foundation, the groove that made you feel alive. When I discovered The Warning’s “Enter Sandman” cover on YouTube in 2014, it was like rediscovering that metal rush. These sisters, barely teens, channeled the same raw energy I loved, but with a fierce, modern twist. Dany’s vocals and guitar were fire, Pau’s drums a relentless storm, but Ale’s basslines were lightning bolts, grounding the chaos with grooves that hit my EDM-loving soul. At nine, she held down Metallica’s iconic riff with a Fender Mustang bass nearly her size, her groove so tight it gave me chills. Her basslines reminded me why I fell in love with bass—it’s the vibe, the pulse, the heartbeat of music.

Ale’s basslines in songs like “Choke,” “S!CK,” “Martirio,” and “Qué Más Quieres” are why she’s my favorite—they bridge my metal past and EDM present, blending the raw power of Metallica’s “Battery” with the pulsing energy of a festival banger. Her ability to lock in with Pau’s drums and complement Dany’s riffs creates a sound that’s heavy yet infectious. At their Atlanta show at The Masquerade, Ale’s grooves in “S!CK” hit like a sonic boom, vibrating through the crowd, the venue alive with energy. Her Instagram follow after that show was a spark that fueled this essay, a nod to the connection between her basslines and my love for music’s low-end power. For fans in Chicago’s rock clubs, Miami’s neon nights, Detroit’s gritty venues, or Raleigh’s eclectic clubs, Ale’s basslines are a call to let loose and live loud. This tribute celebrates The Warning’s music, with Ale’s grooves as the heartbeat driving their revolution.

From Monterrey to Global Stages: The Warning’s Epic Rise

Imagine three sisters in Monterrey, Mexico, jamming in their living room, fueled by a love for rock and the video game Rock Band. That’s where The Warning’s story begins, a saga of passion, grit, and unstoppable drive. In 2013, Daniela “Dany” Villarreal (born February 10, 2000), Paulina “Pau” Villarreal (born February 5, 2002), and Alejandra “Ale” Villarreal (born December 13, 2004) formed their band, each choosing an instrument to define their explosive sound. Dany took guitar and lead vocals, Pau grabbed drums, and Ale, at just seven, chose bass guitar, giving The Warning its seismic low-end [Wikipedia]. Their parents, music lovers, filled their home with Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Nirvana, The Beatles, and Deep Purple, encouraging exploration of classic and modern rock. All three sisters trained in classical piano from a young age, building a musical foundation that gave them an edge in crafting tight arrangements and intricate harmonies [The Warning Fandom]. Rock Band was the catalyst, turning living-room jams into a power trio, with the sisters mastering virtual tracks like Metallica’s “Master of Puppets,” Foo Fighters’ “Everlong,” or Green Day’s “American Idiot,” laughing and competing over who could nail the toughest riffs.

In 2014, their cover of Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” went viral on YouTube, amassing over 23 million views and earning praise from Metallica’s Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo, who shared it with fans [Wikipedia]. At nine, Ale rocked a Fender Mustang bass, her groove stealing the show despite her small frame, delivering a performance that was both precocious and powerful, her fingers moving with a confidence that stunned viewers. This viral hit launched them into the spotlight, catching the attention of rock fans from Mexico to the USA, Europe, and beyond. Encouraged by Ale’s bass teacher, Pablo González Sarre of Los Claxons, they pursued a record deal and started writing originals, channeling their youthful energy into tracks that were raw yet polished [Wikipedia]. They launched a GoFundMe campaign to fund their debut EP, Escape the Mind (2015), working with producer Jake Carmona to shape tracks like “Free Falling,” “Escape the Mind,” “Take Me Down,” “When I’m Alone,” “Eternal Love,” “Fade Away,” and “Breathe” [Wikipedia]. The EP’s raw energy, youthful passion, and mature songwriting showed they were more than a cover band, with Ale’s basslines providing a steady heartbeat beneath Dany’s soaring vocals and Pau’s relentless beats.

In 2015, The Warning performed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, wowing audiences with their live intensity and chemistry, their performance crackling with the energy of their YouTube cover. Ellen and Target donated $10,000 each to send them to a five-week program at Berklee College of Music, where they honed songwriting, arrangement, and performance skills, learning from pros and collaborating with peers, refining their ability to balance technical skill with emotional depth [Wikipedia]. They spoke at TEDx conferences in Nevada in 2016 and 2017, sharing their story of chasing dreams through music, inspiring young fans with tales of perseverance, passion, and sisterhood, their talks blending humor, heart, and honesty [Wikipedia]. Their first full-length album, XXI Century Blood (2017), dropped originals like “Wildfire,” “Survive,” “Exterminated,” “Runaway,” “Unmendable,” “Black Holes,” “Copper Bullets,” “River’s Soul,” and “XXI Century Blood,” proving their songwriting prowess with anthemic hooks, gritty riffs, and raw energy [Wikipedia]. The album’s themes of resilience, rebellion, and self-discovery resonated with fans, establishing them as a force in rock, with Ale’s basslines anchoring the chaos and adding groove to every track.

In 2018, they released Queen of the Murder Scene, a concept album exploring a character’s descent into madness, with tracks like “Stalker,” “Hunter,” “Dust to Dust,” “The One,” “Sinister Smiles,” “Crimson Queen,” “Ugh,” “The End,” “P.S.Y.C.H.O.T.I.C,” and “Queen of the Murder Scene” [Wikipedia]. The album’s storytelling, driven by Ale’s melodic basslines, Dany’s emotive vocals, and Pau’s dynamic drums, showcased their growth as musicians and lyricists, creating a dark, captivating narrative. By 2022, their major-label debut Error on Lava/Republic Records solidified their place in rock, with hits like “Choke,” “Evolve,” “Narcisista,” “Money,” “Animosity,” “Z,” “Amour,” “Disciple,” and “Entertainer” climbing charts and earning critical praise for their polished yet raw sound [TalkBass]. Their latest album, Keep Me Fed (released June 28, 2024), is a gritty masterpiece, featuring songs like “S!CK,” “Hell You Call a Dream,” “Qué Más Quieres,” “Six Feet Deep,” “Automatic Sun,” “Burnout,” “Sharks,” “Apocalypse,” “Escapism,” “Consume,” and “Satisfied” [Wikipedia]. Each track showcases their evolution, blending heavy riffs with melodic hooks and bilingual lyrics reflecting their Mexican heritage.

In 2025, The Warning is a global powerhouse, headlining their “Keep Me Fed” US tour, including the unforgettable Atlanta show at The Masquerade on July 12, 2025, where Ale’s basslines shook the venue, the crowd roaring, the energy electric as fans sang every word [Guitar World]. They’ve opened for rock giants like Guns N’ Roses, Muse, Foo Fighters, and Halestorm, and played festivals like Download, Aftershock, Louder Than Life, Welcome to Rockville, and Rocklahoma, performing for crowds up to 60,000 [TalkBass][Guitar World]. Their collaborations with Alessia Cara on “Enter Sandman” for The Metallica Blacklist (2021) and Dead Poet Society on “Hurt” (2024) show their versatility, blending rock with pop and modern influences [AltPress][Wikipedia]. From Monterrey’s local stages to global arenas, their journey inspires fans in Atlanta’s buzzing music scene, Austin’s live music capital, Miami’s neon nights, Seattle’s grunge clubs, Chicago’s rock clubs, Nashville’s music hub, Boston’s historic venues, San Francisco’s indie scene, Portland’s creative vibe, Los Angeles’ star-studded stages, Denver’s mountain music scene, New York’s electric energy, Philadelphia’s gritty venues, Phoenix’s desert rock scene, Houston’s vibrant clubs, Orlando’s sunny stages, Dallas’s rockin’ venues, San Diego’s coastal vibe, Cleveland’s rock ‘n’ roll heart, Detroit’s gritty music scene, Charlotte’s growing music scene, Tampa’s energetic venues, Raleigh’s eclectic clubs, Pittsburgh’s raw venues, Minneapolis’s vibrant scene, Las Vegas’s dazzling stages, St. Louis’s soulful clubs, Kansas City’s heartland rock, Baltimore’s gritty venues, and Milwaukee’s rockin’ clubs.
