More than a single, Kerosene represents the energy behind this era. This edition takes you deeper into the music, the visuals, and the story that brought it to life.
Coming hot off the heels of the Warning’s recent country-crossover collaboration with Carín León, the Metallica-backed sister act is now heating things up with a more blazingly rock-geared single called “Kerosene.”
The group’s second song of 2026, which follows last month’s “Love to Be Loved,” seem- ingly ignites as a missive against copycats and the kinds of people weirdly keeping tabs on you by saving your pic to their lockscreen (“You rip my hair, my style, my jeans/I swear you copy everything.”)
The lyrical takedown is delivered through smooth-yet-soaring vocal harmonies from the band’s Dany, Pau and Ale Villarreal, and comes paired with engine-revving modern riff-rocking and fuzz-bass tones filthier than a tankful of high-ethanol crude.
The Warning have unleashed a fiery new stand-alone single titled “Kerosene,” along with a high-action music video to accom- pany the track.
“Kerosene” maintains The Warning’s hard- rocking sound, and blends in some pop sens- ibilities. There’s even a Chappell Roan- like chant that calls out a copycat in the lyrics: “You rip my hair/ My style, my jeans/ I swear you copy everything/ You try to write the songs I sing/ It makes me sick.”
The music video features the band’s three sisters riding around in a stolen car, shooting off flamethrowers, and getting into all sorts of mayhem.
The Warning are playing a number of Latin American shows this month, including three Lollapalooza festivals. The band will then support Yungblud on a UK tour beginning in April, as well as on his North American tour in May and June.
"Engine-revving modern riff-rocking and fuzz-bass tones filthier than a tankful of high-ethanol crude.”
The Warning have shared their second track of 2026, and have never sounded more fantastically fierce than they do right now.
The song is called ‘Kerosene’ and is modern rock at its most devastatingly bold and belligerent. A sensationally driving riff melts into refrains dripping in confidence and cocksure attitude, as they take down those who talk shit behind their back but would never dare say it to their face.
The people who watch their every move, despite the fact that they apparently don’t care about what they are doing. It’s the sort of track you would hate to realise is about you, delivered in a way that will send a cold shiver up your spine.
After releasing their last collaboration, “Love to Be Loved” with Carín León, The Warning is back with their signature sound on “Kerosene.” From the get-go, the Mexican trio has had their hit formula figured out—a strong bassline, fast- paced drums, and the vocalist Daniela’s high- pitched vocals. Put it all together, and you get another radio-ready and catchy rock banger like “Kerosene,” which at the same time plants a proud Mexican flag on your local main- stream rock programming, which is a win for alternative Latinas everywhere.
As far as the video goes, The Warning features nos- talgic Y2K elements like a bedazzled iPod nano, a fur cardigan, and streetwear sun- glasses, adding a playful, girly pop touch to the song’s cinematic action-like visuals. What else can we say? We love seeing Latinas thrive in white male-dominated rock spaces and having fun while at it. – Jeanette Hernandez
