At Home With The Warning: Their Historic No. 1 and Why You Have to Be “Cringe”

The Warning came back to the house for the third time—and this conversation finds them at a truly historic moment. 🖤 Dany, Pau, and Ale Villarreal joined me for an intimate conversation about their fifth studio album, Everything’s Falling, “Kerosene” reaching No. 1, and becoming the first Mexican band and first all-woman band to top Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. We dive deep into the intention behind the album, the decision to step away from touring so they could create, and how the sisters have evolved as musicians, women, and human beings. They also open up about preparing for their first stadium headline, performing at the NFL International Game halftime show in Mexico City, joining Carín León at Sphere, and learning to appreciate each milestone while it’s happening. We also talk about: ⚡️ The emotions surrounding the release of Everything’s Falling ⚡️ “Kerosene” reaching No. 1 and making Billboard history ⚡️ Performing at the NFL International Game halftime show in Mexico City ⚡️ Joining Carín León at Sphere for “Love to Be Loved” ⚡️ Headlining their first stadium in front of approximately 65,000 people ⚡️ Building Everything’s Falling around three emotional chapters ⚡️ Why they stepped away from touring to focus entirely on writing ⚡️ What the sisters discovered about themselves and one another ⚡️ Dany’s vocal evolution and learning to embrace a softer approach ⚡️ Femininity, vulnerability, and refusing to be boxed in as women in rock ⚡️ Why young artists must be willing to look “cringe” ⚡️ Growing up publicly and dealing with criticism online ⚡️ Touring with YUNGBLUD and the new generation keeping rock alive ⚡️ Why rock music is experiencing such an exciting resurgence ⚡️ Navigating outside opinions, commercial pressure, and genre policing ⚡️ The challenge of writing songs in English versus Spanish ⚡️ Why writing “Ego” in Spanish felt especially vulnerable and liberating ⚡️ Taking creative control of every visual, performance, and detail ⚡️ How the sisters support one another through pressure and exhaustion ⚡️ Their hopes for longevity, community, and giving back ⚡️ What they wish for one another outside of The Warning Plus: homemade cookies, brownies, ice cream, tacos, key lime pie, mood boards, “trust the jeans,” rock painting, and plenty of sisterly chaos along the way. Whether you’re a longtime member of The Warning Army, listening to Everything’s Falling on repeat, or simply love honest conversations about rock music, creativity, sisterhood, vulnerability, and finding the courage to be yourself, this one is for you. ❤️ Subscribe for more At Home conversations: https://youtube.com/@AllisonHagendorf 🎧 Listen on Spotify & Apple Podcasts: https://play.megaphone.fm/sxhb2ibzrw-vle8ombutpa ❤️ FOLLOW ALLISON ON SOCIALS ✅ Substack: https://allisonhagendorf.substack.com ✅ YouTube: https://youtube.com/AllisonHagendorf ✅ Official Website: https://allisonhagendorf.com ✅ Instagram: https://instagram.com/allisonhagendorf ✅ TikTok: https://TikTok.com/@allisonhagendorf ✅ X: https://x.com/allihagendorf #TheWarning #EverythingsFalling #Kerosene 00:00 - Intro 01:23 - Welcome Back, The Warning 03:53 - Everything’s Falling & “Kerosene” at No. 1 07:30 - The NFL Mexico City Halftime Show 11:58 - Sphere & Their First Stadium Headline 18:57 - Building the Album in Three Chapters 20:32 - Stepping Off the Road to Write 22:38 - What the Sisters Learned About Each Other 26:58 - Dany’s New Vocal Approach 29:01 - Femininity, Vulnerability & Women in Rock 36:53 - Authenticity & Why It’s Okay to Be “Cringe” 41:54 - Touring with YUNGBLUD 43:40 - Why Rock Is Back 48:45 - Success, Industry Pressure & Genre Policing 54:19 - Writing in English vs. Spanish 56:59 - Their Proudest Moment on the Album 58:47 - Creative Control Across Cultures 1:00:57 - How the Sisters Handle Pressure 1:03:55 - Longevity, Community & Giving Back 1:06:12 - What They Wish for One Another 1:08:35 - Outro Learn more about your ad choices.
