The Warning, the explosive rock trio from Monterrey, Mexico, continues to carve their name into the global music scene—and now, the world of cinema. Their latest milestone? A coveted spot in the 2025 Tribeca Festival’s Music Video Competition with their visually striking and emotionally charged video for “Qué Más Quieres.”
This selection places The Warning among an elite group of global creatives, as the Tribeca shorts lineup boasts 93 entries from 105 filmmakers across more than 30 countries. It’s a powerful acknowledgment of the band’s creative reach—not just musically, but visually and narratively.
A Cinematic Masterpiece with a Rock Edge
More than just a performance clip, “Qué Más Quieres” is a cinematic mini-drama. Set in a stylized “Mexican Las Vegas Mobster Wedding,” the music video follows the Villarreal sisters—Dany, Pau, and Ale—as they plot to eliminate a groom in possession of a mysterious briefcase. With deliberate pacing, dramatic visuals, and a haunting atmosphere, the band delivers a narrative of power, betrayal, and liberation, all soundtracked by their intense, Spanish-language rock anthem.
This artistic leap blends the energy of their signature sound with a bold visual statement—showcasing The Warning’s ability to evolve beyond the stage and into storytelling mediums traditionally reserved for filmmakers.
Breaking Boundaries in 2025
Tribeca’s recognition only adds to what’s already been a landmark year for The Warning. Their 2024 album Keep Me Fed received critical acclaim, and “Qué Más Quieres” itself earned a Latin Grammy nomination for Best Rock Song. With their relentless touring, genre-defying sound, and increasingly ambitious visuals, The Warning continues to push boundaries and redefine what a modern rock band can be.
From YouTube to Tribeca
It’s worth remembering that The Warning first captured global attention with a viral YouTube cover of Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” over a decade ago. Since then, they’ve evolved from teen prodigies into full-fledged rock powerhouses—and now, into cinematic visionaries.
Their selection for Tribeca’s 2025 Music Video Competition doesn’t just celebrate a single song or video—it signals the arrival of a band that refuses to be boxed in. Whether they’re shredding on stage or telling stories on screen, The Warning is here to make noise, and the world is finally listening.
Watch out, New York—The Warning is coming.
