If you had to choose one, where would you categorize us? 

Comments

Isaiah Hagood

Honestly, all of them, with the exception of possible Metal. That’s how diverse your music is! With that being said, most of your songs fit the Rock/Hard Rock category.

Iván De la Rosa

Es hard rock con pequeños tintes de metal, incluso en ocasiones como en martirio, suena a nu-metal

alberto

If Ale sings lead, itll be the Bestest Rock!! Even better than the best rock!!!

Rick Simmons

It's difficult to put you in a box. Definitely rock with a string lean to hard rock.

Carlos in Honolulu

Certainly not pop, and arguably not really metal. It’s only Rock-n-Roll 🎸 and I like it, like it, yes I do...

Fede García

Y la opción todas las anteriores? Es es la q elegiría jajaja

Robert Byrd

You don't fit just one. Toss out the Metal, at least according to today's standards. You would have fit Heavy Metal back in the early 80's.

Chris Gallagher

Not an easy question. Your music crosses categories, but I want with Hard Rock

Jay Embee

Somewhere between Rock and Hard Rock is probably the nearest category, as you have a unique sound and style that crosses several genres. Each album so far has some songs I’d categorise as Rock and others that definitely qualify as Hard Rock.

Miguel De Leon

That is so unfair to you. You are unique. I would categorize you as “Awesome”

Ramiro chavera

In the likes of greatest rock bands such as Queen , Van Halen , Motley Crue

ALBERT ACEVEDO

Is there a between Hard Rock and Rock? Please don’t ever leave Rock!

Daniel Kiraly

There is one genre missing from there. "The Warning".

Gus Gomez

Y can hear grunge touches here and there too 👀...

Bill Highsmith

I looked and looked and looked, never found the awesome block.

Chadwick_Ezra_Jr.

Ya i have to agree with most of these guys , between Rock and Hard rock which is called the most Amazing band ever. Much love guys.

Agustin Rodriguez Young

I voted for Hard Rock but immediately got a knot in my stomach for the following reason. I’ve been listening to hard rock and heavy metal for more than 35 years and Could easily categorize all the bands Thant I’ve loved though the years in one of these categories. You ladies on the other hand cannot and should not be categorized in any one category. Your music can span all of the above in a single song and I believe that soon you will have defined your own category. For me right now you simply play “Rock which I love.” People can call it whatever they like.

Christopher French

It’s a little hard to pick just one category. It really depends on the album.

Mark (UK)

Does this include Whoopee Party and other Peppermints songs?

Chris Striba

Some earlier songs could be considered rock but I feel like you're evolving more into hard rock/progressive. It might be missing some of the intricacies that would push you into progressive but I can't wait to see the evolution of your genre.

Angelica (Gela) Garcia

I had to vote both rock and hard rock, one of the best things is about your music is how diffrent they all sound!

Javier Alberto Falcón Morales

Principalmente Rock, pero hay piezas que son Hard Rock(QOTMS), pero tienen muchos otros matices: grunge, punk, y un largo etcétera. Su música es muy rica en componentes, por eso es tremendamente disfrutable, ¡ES ÚNICA!

Trey Salazar

I think all can apply because of how diverse your influences are, however if it had to be one, I'd have to say Hard Rock. As far as Metal I'd say you're more like Metal-ish. You all have the capability and wouldn't be surprised (personally would love to see it) if you came out with some genuine metal songs if not an entire album

Robert Blea

I chose Rock. Hoping the Warning. Will be like The Who, The Doors, and The Rolling Stones. Forever having 100% creative control, making awesome music. And never making a sub standard album because their label wants a rushed album to release.

Mike Shaw

To make a more accurate decision... it would be helpful to hear how your music has progressed since QOTMS. If only there was some way to get an idea of what your new music sounds like 🤔. I know, I know... never mind. 😜

Donald Kirk

I would say somewhere between Rock and Hard rock.

JOHN LOPEZ

The rock category is more fluid and gives them more breathing room. Explore the space.

William C Gregson

Too paraphrase Lemmy ......... “ We are the Warning and we play rock and roll”

Aaron Murphy

It's not on the list, but I would also categorize the three of you as awesome.

Kenneth young

Voted rock and hard rock, but I think what is unique and draws people in is that your music can't be put into just one category.

Wil

Honestly, how do YOU define your sound? And should you need to define it? Why? There are some renditions that could just tip into metal; most are def harder than rock. No matter what, it’s full of energy; sounds amazing - takes my daily humdrum / problems away! 🙂 👌👍🤘✊

gary martine

I voted for "rock" because that covers a lot of ground like your music and rock also does not put you in a box like some tend to do with some bands. (Example: Paramore) Play your music and I will continue to follow no matter what you do even if it's with kazoos and pots and pans!! :P

Bob Easton

I also chose Rock as the term Rock describes them all! I grew up on Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Metallica and all the other "Rock" groups! Also, R.I.P. Eddy Van Halen! You will be missed!

Paul Byford

I would have gone with Classic Rock but that wasn’t an option so I went with Hard Rock. I can see why the vote is currently split between Rock and Hard Rock.

Martin Koerfgen

Yep i voted Hard Rock & hoping Your New L.P continues in that vein but i love Heavy Metal so be pleasantly Joy O Joy if You put a belter or 2 on there (something like Metallica' s 'Master Of Puppets') which interestingly Lilliac are about to cover & Melody is the Ace Diamond within

Johnathan Jackson

I mean, y’all are definitely rock. You’re nowhere near pop anything but I wouldn’t quite put you in what I’d consider hard rock. Y’all are just amazing at being good solid powerful driving rock!

Guilherme

The bass is rock, wait no...😂 la 'base' is rock . THE STRUCTURE is rock but... yeah; pick one, would be hard rock, but depends on which song. And the variety is great IMO.

Mateo P. Castro

I would say even hard rock or alternative rock. But the truth is that your sound is unique and can’t be categorized in a single genre

Jim Haase

I’m with jay on this.... the warning has the ability to sound like rock with ballads but kill it with queen of the Murder Scene or hunter... just keep rockin your way!!!!

Andy Alvarado

As Lzzy Hale says "Holding the hard rock flag high". So, for me, it's Hard Rock 🤘🏼

Beyond the Track

Hard Rock, hoping that you'll be leaning more towards metal as the years go by. Think the middle section in Dust to Dust when Rudy sings. ;)

Xavier Salvatore

Yo las onsidero Metal y Hard Rock,no importa lo que muchos piensen al respecto,,ya que en mu has cancionea se escucha mucho influencia se Metallica,Megadeth,o Motley crue,pero muchos no las co sidera Metal solo por que no cantan estilo gutural..mi humilde opinion.

Dave Marks

Hard rock with a few toes in metal.

Mark Bell

That is a really hard question. The truth is that their songs are all over the place. It's part of what makes them special I believe. You aren't sure what's coming from one song to the next.

John A Fagerquist

That's a hard question. Not pop, not exactly metal. I guess Rock covers it. You're quite diverse, but it all fits under Rock... some harder than others.

Ricardo

It's hard to define your music as a whole, which is a good thing in my humble opinion. I voted Hard Rock because I believe it's the term which better describes it but I could go with Rock.

Ricardo

Also, your EP (more like Pop Rock/Soft Rock) is very different to your 1st album (more like Hard Rock/Rock), which is very different to your second album (more like Hard Rock/Metal/Rock Ballads).

Fred Hinckley

Announcer: "And here are the Hard Rock'n Sisters from Monterrey, Mexico". See...has to be hard rock.

Steve Schroeder

Most hard rock bands have a radio friendly rock song, most rock bands have a kick butt hard rock song. I went with rock 🎸

Rob Sorenson

Rock/Hard Rock. Though I suppose once you get really popular, by definition it could be Pop Rock? I’m not big on labels to be honest.

Glen Cox

I vote Rock, Hard Rock with minor hints of Progressive Rock. But as many others have said it is extremely difficult to put you into a single genre. Your music is so divers and unique that the only real category I would choose is that it is The Warning. You are creating a style that may well be considered a genre of its own in the future. You are certainly pioneers in music. LONG LIVE THE VILLARREAL SISTERS!

KuroKishi

From the Material that I have listened to from you so far. Power Rock. In all honestly though , you sound like no one but remind me of everyone. Please don’t put yourself in a box. I don’t like this question that was asked.

16 Lizards

When I describe you to people I introduce your music to, I call it classic rock with a modern flair.

Linda Krajewski

Rock/Hard Rock with wide influences adding spice.

William Grogan

I remember saying years ago when I first heard you, thank god, rock is back, proper rock. The more I looked into your music and different songs, it's progressed into most of the question. I'm a massive fan and wish you all the best in the future. Whatever you produce with the new album I'm sure you won't disappoint 🤟Rock on ladies whatever genre it is.

Greg Hatcher

I have always referred to you as a seriously good rock n roll band and I definitely think that still applies.

Scott LaFleur

It depends on which songs. I was torn between rock and hard rock. Thought of Dull Knives and QOTMS and went with hard rock.

Robert Parmelee

Depends on the song. If I can only choose one then it's Rock.

Scott LaFleur

Ok. I could choose all that apply. That solved my dilemma. Hard rock and rock.

Ron Wood

I am kind of like others as your music can be all over the place from song to song. But, You three REALLY BRING IT at the same time. I voted "Hard Rock".

Tex (FullTexanEffect)

Good old fashioned rock and roll. Y'all got bangers, ballads, bops, and jams that cause involuntary stank face. 🤘

Thomas Andrew Illgen

I chose hard rock. BTW, you asked us to choose ONE category, however the poll is “choose all that apply.” 😅 Don’t expect any scientific results from this poll! 😁

László Dirda

(progressiv) WARNING_ROCK, simplemente.....

Ted Rufledt, Jr.

I describe your music as rock or modern rock. My 11 year old grandson and I are big fans! Started listening to you 4 years ago. Had tickets to your Denver show. 😪 We were both super bummed you had to cancel. They are building a new 70,000 seat arena in our city....The Monument. It would be so awesome if The Warning could be an inaugural band for its grand opening next year! Rapid City, SD!!

Daniel Levesque

Rock, but also hard rock in my opinion. What I love best though is you really don’t fit in any particular box. Please stay that way!

Dennis Dole

Unique Rock with a Pauerful Transitioning sound, feel and a humanistic element that continues to evolve! That’s what makes it a Phenomenon..........😎

Darryl Ades

Your music is beautiful. Straight ahead rock and roll. Wouldn't really call it metal. Just melodic hard rock which i grew up on. Especially in the 1980s before TW was even born!😍🥰💋💓💗🧡

Ken Lawson

I was gonna choose roll but they only gave me the option of rock.

Gilberto Dotti Cesa

Rock...The Elegant Rock. Great melodies, strong rythms, sofisticated (but not complicated) arrangements, etc etc... 💃💃💃⚡⚡⚡😀

robert b myers

Could be any of the above. i am a 62 saabbath fan and my wife is a 47 alt rocker, we both love your music. One of the signs of a great band is not knowing which song is your favorite on any given day. You girls have the best new sound in a long time. ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!

Peter Fällman

Thing is that you have your own style that go between more harder pop rock style songs like Survive to heavier songs like Queen of The Murder Scene to Hard metal inspired rock in D2D followed by pure hard rock in Dull Knives and Exterminated adding some progressive rock in Ugh, ripping some punk rock in PSY and then power ballads. Where do you want to be yourselves? You have your own sound and style so 🤷🏻‍♂️... difficult to label your music

Art Power

I think you're missing "Art rock" category.

Karsten Nöring

That's really tough. In the end I went with Hard Rock but I think you already have made your own style which is related to Hard Rock more than any other styles. Queen started as a Hard Rock and went on to Pop Rock. So I would say you are more to the older Queen albums than to the later ones. I think you have elements of all 4 phases of Hard Rock in your music.

Sascha Erlenbach

I actually want to choose rock / hard rock. In my opinion, both fit

Paul Parker

Is there a definition for progressive rock, just asking please?

Jason Lewko

I chose Hard Rock, but it's more like Inventive Rock.

Rick Simmons

Typically I prog rock you have long songs, a lot of time signature and melodic changes in a single song. Think Rush, Queensryche, Dreame Theater

Elvin Willie

Easy answer for me...hard rock🙌🏼🤘

Lee W

There are elements of all those labels in different segments, so it could be "Rock Smoothie". But given the choice I would definately say "Hard Rock".

John (Chewy)

oh no not Pop Rock, much toooo good for that

Danny Cox

Funny, I was just thinking about that the other day. I picked hard rock because it seems the way your music is leading you. What I love is that you put everything into each song and it becomes a part of you. As such, a part of us. I think the Warning Army is in for a real treat with the new music. Love you all and hope all is well in your part of the world.

Xavier Salvatore

Dull knives,Hunter, and queen of murder scene sounds Metal to me ,so las considero,metal y hard rock

Michael Gehrman

You have a broad range between rock to hard rock with a touch of metal here and there, so overall, I'd say definitely hard rock. :)

Martin Koerfgen

I just heard AC/DC new song & being an Aussie but a smile on my dial after Eddie's passing & was musing if they want to Tour again maybe AC/DC can Open for The Warning !!! when You Kat's do a World Tour after Release of New Album 🙃 & Dany put Your Best Socks On when You Lay Down Guitar Recording Next week in Memory of Eddie ☝️

Wayne Dickson

It rocks hard, it's not Metal. It has melodic structure and the lyrical content is very edgy. I would therefore place them as leaning Hard Rock. I think the addition of the odd screeching guitar solo would cement a Hard Rock placement but I don't really require it nor do I find that their songs that already have complex arrangements really require them. They occupy a nice niche and lets see how they carve it out. What kind of band was Rush, maybe Hard Rock at the beginning but then they carved out their own sound and identity distinct from anyone else. The Warning is capable of this progression.

ALBERT MAGDALENO

Rock it ladies!🤘😎🤘Voted Rock of course.

G

Progressive rock band/artist experiment with different instruments and sounds. The Beatles, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Muse, etc.

G

All of the above.

Jose Manuel Rodriguez

Definitivamente tiran mas par el Hard Rock. Sin embargo es pertinente hacer algunas acotaciones. Me es imposible no hacer ciertas analogías entre The Warning y otras bandas, no porque suenen como esas bandas, sino mas bien porque su manera de abordar la música es muy similar a la de esas bandas. Primeramente, en mas de un sentido, me recuerdan a The Beatles. Como ellos lo hicieron, ustedes hacen una mixtura de la música que les gusta y el resultado es más que genial. Por otro lado, su composición no es plana , ni repetitiva y mucho menos predecible. Al escuchar sus álbums, es emocionante encontrar intenciones y matices muy diferentes al pasar de un track a otro, y en ese sentido son ustedes como Led Zeppelin. Finalmente, en mis 40 años de escuchar ruidito, únicamente he conocido a tres bandas que han conseguido que cada uno de sus discos tenga una identidad sonora propia sin perder la identidad musical de la banda. Dicho de otra manera, solo conozco a tres bandas que pudieron evolucionar y se reinventan (o reinventaron) tremendamente disco a disco sin perder su sonido ni su estilo: Led Zeppelin, Queensryche y The Warning. Por cierto....conocen ustedes el nombre del primer álbum de Queensryche?....es un nombre hermoso y poderoso....se llama "The Warning"

Aaron Tipon

Rock.... that can get hard at times. But mostly Rock imo

Carlos Martinez Aguilar

I think the genre that could include most of your songs is rock, but it is difficult to choose one, you have songs that could be included in some others. But we all agree that the three of you are excellent musicians and TWA can't wait to see the result of the new album. 🤘🏻⚡️

Kay Hentschel

Ooohhhhh, thin ice Martin. That borders on blasphemy, 😁 I really wish our girls all the best, but a lot has to be done before they can build on the successes of AC / DC. I know you are fun, but we AC / DC fans are more known because of our intolerance and we do not tolerate any fun with AC / DC. 😄🤘

Jason Lewko

Hi Kay, sounds good to me. Their intensity is always sky high when on stage. I'm still waiting for my first intimate experience of that intensity but I must admit, I'm getting awfully tired of waiting.

Jochen Steinhauser

I choose Hard Rock, because the most of your songs are heavier than Rock 😎🤘

Kay Hentschel

If I have to choose between the suggested styles, then I would choose a mix of Rock and Hard Rock. But actually I would rather tend towards the assessment that AC / DC have chosen for their music: Rock'n'Roll. Reason: good Rock Music not only has to rock, it also has to roll, that is, it has to swing. And I think their music does that.

Normal Expectation ́s

I'm with Daniel Kiraly and Josh from Carpool Reactions; Is The Warning (https://youtu.be/3JOP7w0hOpk?t=575 ) I really believe that in 20 or 30 years you will hear people playing Warning style, but, there's not that option, will choose Rock.

Kay Hentschel

Comfort yourself Jason, you are not alone, I feel the same way as you. We have to be patient. By the way, without praising myself too much, but the term Intensiv Rock is actually a brilliant name for the music of TW. It is absolutely apt. 😁🤘

Achim Esser

Rock or Hard Rock! Some songs like QOTMS or Dull Knives are closer to Metal, some are closer to Punk, like PSYCHOTIC, Unmendable, so I would chose Hard Rock, because you rock hard, especially live! Or, as Lemmy said whole his life, he gave a shit about these categories: You are The Warning and you play Rock’n’ Roll! How much I would love a Motörhead cover one day... with Ale‘s bass... 👍⚡️🤘

Miki

I am missing "good music" option there, does it really matter what particular sub-genre it is? given that you play real instruments and the overall aesthetic, it is rock music for sure, on the edge of hard rock and with some songs crossing that line (Dust to Dust, anyone?), some songs being more punk than anything (Psychotic), and some hard to classify; if you ask me, I like my music heavier, but that has to come naturally rather than forced :) just play what you like, does it matter how it is called?

Kay Hentschel

Ohhh yes Achim, Lemmy made it clear at the beginning of each concert what could be heard in the next 2 hours. I absolutely agree with you, it would be great, TW covers Motörhead. I would prefer "Motörhead", I would be interested in how Ale plays the bass right at the beginning, since Lemmy has mostly played his bass like a rhythm guitar.

Torsten Breswald

it's a mix, mostly rock, some punk rock, hard rock, metal, but also some pop elements to spice it up here and there, alltogether awesome :)

Randy Warijo

The Warning are so gifted with their musical talent that you can't even say in what genre they belong. Give them a hard rock song to cover and they are able to sing it like a slow emo song, like most of their accoustic sessions🔥. I think they can even produce a reggae song! Just like Sting & The Police🤘... Whatever they produce, we love it🖤... Keep rocking Dany, Pau & Ale🤘

Mark Lee

I would say Rock as it’s the most open to interpretation. Rock can mean wildly different things to different people so it’s the least potentially exclusive label to use when categorising The Warning.

William C Gregson

A famous football 🏈 quote by Bill Parcellls “You are what your record says you are “ Well after The Warnings 3rd album is released , we will have an answer 😸........... until there next album 😻

Kenneth young

Yes that's how I feel. I've said there music sounds like nothing I've ever heard but at the same time so familiar if that makes since.

Don Felipe

R.A.M.O.N.E.S. please! I certainly wouldn't want to be Pau's drum kit during this one. 😂

Don Felipe

The Warning + Angus playing "Let There Be Rock" together. 🤗 Imagine Ale's humming bass during the verse!!! 🤗 🤗 🤗 Also, why this song? Because it is ROCK N ROLL at its best, regardless of how you label it, just let it roll!!!

Don Felipe

Wait!? What!!! Eddie (van Halen) just passed away. Aw man. 😩 "Ain't Talkin' Bout Love" would sound great by The Warning. RIP, Eddie!

Robert L Norris

I picked Hard Rock because it kind of sits in the middle of Rock, Metal, Pop Rock, Punk, Progressive, they blend elements of all those.

Achim Esser

Kay + Don, I love this sick bass intro of Motörhead‘s Boogeyman... Ale‘s pedalboard would need a new sound for this song... Ale could do the vocals in the tone she copied David Bendeth in the last Vlog #2 at 8:25... great! 🤘. https://youtu.be/bsAydylM_g4

Steve Padilla

It’s difficult because the definition of those terms have changed over the years. Rock used to be Elvis, the Beatles, Rolling Stones. Then you have the ‘70s classic rock like CCR, Eagles, and to the ‘80s with Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen. For hard rock I’d say more groups like AC/DC, Zepplin, Van Halen, Kiss. Aerosmith. Heavy metal was Sabbath, Priest, Maiden, but then sorta made way for what became hair metal, including Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, and GnR. But that was really more hard rock to me, while Metallica and Megadeth were really metal. So all that said, I think The Warning is too heavy to be just “rock” but doesn’t have the full on guitar assault of heavy metal. I classify them as hard rock. That doesn’t mean that as others have pointed out, that they don’t have just rock songs, maybe even pop rock, and some metal as well. But in general, it’s hard rock, with AC/DC, Van Halen, Def Leppard, GnR, Tesla,Whitesnake, and “newer” bands like Halestorm, GVF, The Pretty Reckless, Rival Sons.

Roy Wall

I voted yesterday, but gave myself a day to think about why I voted, before commenting. From the very first time I heard your music (Whisky 2018 video), I was hooked. Each song had its own feel, its own story and its own sound. You write songs that say something, and therefore make us feel things. Not since Queen, has there been a band so wonderfully diverse. Your music flows across our souls, bringing both light and joy as its companion. I cannot fit what you do into a sub category, because while using each sub category, you transcend them all. You are YOURSELVES. You Are Rock. TWA forever!

Eric FARGES

Difficult to choose one genre more than another. The kind of music I'm listening to is mostly hard rock, metal, or rock. But The Warning's music is a mix of all rock music genres. The first time I heard you, it was just like a blast : at last there was something new in the rock'n roll world 😃 So, that's why I'd rather say you play ROCK music. Just like The Stones said it well : "It's only rock'n roll and I like it !" Stay true to yourselves as always, because that's one of the reasons we are proud of you and love you so much. Stay safe and take care. 🤘❤

Lee

I choose rock as it allows for so much range in musical style. Rock can be so many things, hard, soft, metal edged, pop edged, punk edged, grunge, bluesy, progressive, technical, anthemic, catchy. This is what I love about Inme, they are not limited to a subgenre or certain style, they create music of various styles, blending styles and create their own sound/style. This is exactly what I love about your music too, the range, the variety, the versatility, the range of influences; you have created your own style, a style that is not tied to one type of sound. This is why I am soooo excited for the new album; I cannot guess how it will sound, and I love that. One thing I do know is, it will sound like The Warning and it will be great! :-)

Steve Campanella

Your music transcends all genres. The three of you have put a huge W on these labels which leads me to the conclusion of Wock and Woll, or just Whoa, Wow, and Whausome!😁

TheUnderdog

There was perhaps some death Metal at the end of Stalker? Death, anyway. 😆

Ayrton Maguregui

I would call it some kind of XXI Century (Future) Classic Hard Rock & Roll, but I went with Rock & Hard Rock simply because those categories are more in the middle and more wide-ranging. Your music has elements of all of the aforementioned sub-genres, but you always balance every song quite nicely; for instance, if a song has a little bit of a Pop Rock structure and a catchy melody and is about heartbrake, you add some heavy overdrive and an angry attitude and then that song reaches a very nice equilibrium (guess which one it is). On the other hand, if a song is verging on classic Metal because of its heavy and aggressive tone, you make it more accessible because it also has a very nice melody and a lot of heartfelt emotion. Your music is about great songwriting, great melodies and harmonies, and nice arrangements, as well as a combination of high energy with a lot of emotion. Only to explain myself I am going to dare and generalize a little by saying that Pop Rock is mainly about being catchy without being too soft, Metal is largely about being doggedly aggressive or very angry and shocking (like Punk Rock, too), and Progressive Rock is too focused on being complex or complicated, almost bordering on meandering. I love all those styles (don't get mad at me, fellow patreons), but those extremes would be too limiting on their own for such a special band like yours and they work better as elements/ingredients in your style. Of course you can explore them more and I fully trust that you would know what to do. This is just my opinion.

Robert Byrd

I would think more R. E. M. or The Cranberries song Zombie or something from Smashing Pumpkins.

Julieta M

I mean, it depends on what songs you make, sometimes Hard Rock and other times just…Rock

Grayden Dough

You blend Hard Rock with Progressive Rock and some Rock and Metal accents

Kay Hentschel

Yes, Achim, that's another unique scene when Pau and Ale imitate David. I could watch it again and again. :-)

Kay Hentschel

A fantastic idea, TW and AC / DC play "Let There be Rock". Unfortunately, it will remain a utopia. :-(

Maddog Jones

Really? 41 people picked progressive rock!?! Um sure The Warning are incredible musicians, very unique and write amazing songs but they are not Yes, Pink Floyd, Rush or Tool types and f rock. I'm not say they are any better or worse but that they just haven't gotten that experimental with the structure of their music. The Warning are a phenomenal band and I love every single song they have produced, progressive is just not their genre. However they nail; rock, hard rock and metal (Exterminated and Queen of the Murder Scene). I like most here would hesitate to pigeon hole this band to a single genre or label other than just "The Warning".

Andy A

Voted for hard rock as this reflects the harder / heavier side of TW music. There are some easy to assign hard rock songs (e.g. XXICB). Other songs spread their wings into other genres. E.g. when someone hears a verse of Ugh for the very first time she or he might get a very metal vibe from it. Also there are no strict borders between the genres and the whole classification thing evolves with time. Easier to answer and more important: TW sounds like TW. Not even close to a second whoever.

Santiago Cantilo

I'm going with just Rock. I think it fits better with what they've done so far. QOTMS is definitely a Hard Rock album but there are some songs that lean a bit more towards metal (D2D, Dull Knives, the title track) and there are others that stand out for being completely different (Crimson Queen. P.S.Y.C.H.O.T.I.C., The End). In XXICB's case, there may be some Pop Rock influence (MCR, early Paramore) on certain songs like Shattered Heart but overall I get a "Classic Rock" feel from it. Basically, to say TW is a Hard Rock band would be limiting IMO. From the band's point of view, I think it would set a lot of boundaries that wouldn't let them explore their creativity. If they want to write just Hard Rock, that's awesome but if they want to try other things, they shouldn't stop themselves. After fighting so hard to retain all creative control, they should use that in their favor and do whatever they wanna do in any given moment. And from the fans' point of view, to expect/hope any band -but especially TW- is going to stick to the same genre forever is definitely going to lead to disappointment. Dany, Pau and Ale are incredibly talented songwriters and they've already written stuff that goes from Eternal Love, Black Holes or Crimson Queen to Copper Bullets, Ugh, Sinister Smiles, etc. And they've just scratched the surface of what they're capable of doing, we're on a ride to be blown away and surpried on a constant basis. We should just sit tight and wait with an open mind to see what kind of amazing surprises they're going to throw our way. Personally, I just hope they will always have the same passion and drive they have now. If that happens, I'll be beyond happy with everything they do regardless of the genre. For the record, I absolutely love it when Dany covers Billie Eilish songs. The music they make is completely different but they're both incredibly talented and special (as are their respective siblings) and it shows how going "out of her genre" doesn't stop Dany from shining at all. Ps: Just try to avoid reggaeton, though, please 😛

John Slate

I would only classify The Warning as AWESOME!.

Jason Lewko

If "patient" means waiting for a vaccine, then no. I have no interest in getting jabbed. I'm sorry but IMHO, this thing is no dangerous than the flu and so there's no need to close concerts and keep me from seeing TW play in person. To me, the fear is overblown by politicians and the msm. Sorry, to bring that up but I'm not alone in thinking this. I was oh so close to seeing them play live in Vancouver, a place that DPA holds dear to them, but it was sadly taken away. I had such hopes to meet them in person.

Its a bit hard to classify your sound which is one reason Allie and I like it so much. You are not like anyone else. I think we mostly see your music as boarder line rock/hard rock which is the kind of rock I personally like best but you have the ability to do a great power ballad as well which shows how versatile you can be . Rock on ladies.

Indeed, well said Art!! Hope you are doing well and holding it down up there in Queens. I definitely love how they so deftly straddle the line between genres and they are not afraid to venture out of their comfort zone from time to time. But then again, they are probably comfortable with most genres because they are such talented musicians and that classical music training has served them well to do whatever they wish on such a firm and sturdy foundation of musical learning and expertise.

Hey Jason. We are doing ok thank you. Hunter (our cat not the song) is a full time job but he is doing ok too. Allie is doing remote teaching and I am working on my writing. We have done 3 small show reviews since Sept began but one of them was dicey in terms of distancing. I hope all is going well with you down there. Still hoping to meet up with you one day when this darn virus is finally under control but I am not expecting any touring until later in 2021. One of the things that is so cool about the band is t hey are willing to grow and learn about the broader world of rock and apply that in their music. I really think they have the chance to be the next Beatles as they keep evolving.

That is why I clicked both Rock and Hard Rock. For me The Warning <b>sound</b> is an evolution of what has been done. The next evolutionary step in both genres.

"Classic rock with a modern flare" ! To me TW is a borderline case of Hard rock and Rock !

Yan Archique

"HEAVY ROCK" ? Can i vote for it? It means more Heavy than HARD ROCK but not METAL.

Ed Ellis

Their songs, particularly in Queen of the Murder Scene, tell a whole story... it's progressive in that term because I could visualize it as I listened... almost as a movie about a woman's murderous descent into psychosis. But it was so well told... it could have been a movie on its own. Please keep on that path, Dany, Pau, and Ale... music always should tell a story and you seem to know that. So looking forward to album #3!

Some admixture of Heavy Metal, Death Metal, Hard Rock, punk, with prog rock and even some pop influences. I'm reminded of early Kansas and even early 70's Black Sabbath. Whatever it is, KEEP DOING IT!!!!

Dany's guitar is too loud to be categorized as "rock". So hard rock is more appropriate. And they have performed with hard rock bands like Stryper and Def Leppard.

Rob Bond

While fun, categories can result in unnecessary boundaries and unrealistic expectations. This is why I felt "Rock" was a better choice as it is pretty open-ended. Your mileage may vary.

I run with a classic rock band i think they are more just Rock. i have friends that play in hard rock bands and i feel TW isn't just there yet.

Andrew Auerbach

I would call it hard rock with classic, metal, punk, and alternative/grunge influences. Whatever it is, it just rocks!! 🤘😎

The best bands are the ones that don’t fit neatly in ANY category. Keep making The Warning music, and don’t let anyone tell you what genre you need to fit into.
