The Warning have never been the kind of band to bite their tongue — and 'Kerosene' makes sure you know it. The new single is modern rock at its most visceral: a sensationally driving riff that locks in before giving way to refrains soaked in confidence and barely concealed menace. This one has a target. It's aimed squarely at the people who talk behind their backs, monitor their every move, yet somehow convince themselves they couldn't care less. The kind of song you'd dread discovering was written about you.
It's also exactly the kind of song that reminds you The Warning are not to be underestimated. Daniela, Paulina, and Alejandra Villarreal have spent years earning their place at rock's top table, and 'Kerosene' is them daring anyone to question it. Cold, assured, and utterly unsparing — it's a statement as much as it is a single.
The video matches the energy beat for beat. The sisters take it on the road in the most cinematic way possible — doing doughnuts in a supercar, firing flamethrowers into an open sky. It's the kind of visual that makes the song feel even bigger than it already is.
'Kerosene' arrives hot on the heels of their recent collaboration with GRAMMY-winning Mexican artist Carín León on the country-tinged stomper 'Love To Be Loved' — proof that The Warning are in a creative moment few bands can match right now.
