Kicking off the final night of The Warning’s Keep Me Fed tour, Speed of Light stormed the stage with a set that felt far more like a headlining act than an opener. The young trio — siblings Caroline (vocals/guitar), Tessa (drums), and Tony (bass) — delivered a high-voltage performance that left the crowd not just warmed up, but absolutely fired up.

Their sound? A fusion of classic metal influences with modern punk edge and riff-heavy hooks — think Iron Maiden meets L7, filtered through a Gen Z lens.

Speed of Light tore through a tight, 30-minute set that balanced aggression with groove:

• “Wolf” – Their opener, setting the tone with blistering guitar work and punk swagger.

• “Pain on a Chain” – A groove-driven track that let Tony’s basslines shine, earning early cheers from the crowd.

• “For No One” – The standout of the set, mixing haunting melodic verses with explosive choruses. Caroline shredded through a solo that could rival guitarists twice her age.

• “Kill the Vibe” – Their closing song, politically charged and energetic, left fists in the air and a small pit swirling at stage right.

The Band.

• Riley commanded attention with snarling vocals and technically sharp bass. There’s a rawness to her tone that feels both vintage and new.

• Tyler on drums was relentless — tight, fierce, and expressive. Her fills added unexpected complexity to even their more straightforward tracks.

• Cameron while whipping his guitar like a battle axe, syncing perfectly with his sister and brother. His charisma added a fun, chaotic edge.

They didn’t use elaborate production — no backing tracks, no gimmicks — just a stripped-down, sweat-soaked assault of talent and tight chemistry.

Despite being the opener, Speed of Light clearly brought their own fanbase. A decent chunk of the front row was singing along, wearing band tees, and filming solos with wide eyes. Even first-timers were headbanging by the third song.

By the time they walked off stage, the cheers were loud enough to make you think the headliner was coming out next.

Speed of Light may be young, but their confidence and skill are undeniable. At The Fillmore, they didn’t just “open” — they announced themselves.

If they stay on this trajectory, don’t be surprised if you’re paying top dollar to see them sell out venues like this very soon.

From the moment the lights dimmed at The Fillmore, you could feel it — this wasn’t just another show. It was the last night of The Warning’s U.S. tour, and the Monterrey power trio was about to deliver a masterclass in raw, emotional, and unapologetically loud rock.

The band opened with “Six Feet Deep”, the blistering lead track off Keep Me Fed. It was a warning in itself: this night was going to hit hard. Dany’s vocals were fierce, her guitar tone razor-sharp. The crowd exploded — not in a polite cheer, but in a full-bodied roar. Minneapolis was ready.

Paulina (“Pau”) remains one of the most magnetic drummers in modern rock. Her kit work was thunderous on “Sharks”, brought the crowd to a standstill. When she spoke between songs — thanking the fans, the crew, and her sisters — you could hear the emotion cracking through her voice. It was genuine and raw.

Alejandra (“Ale”) brought groove and gravity. On songs like “MONEY” and “FAKE”, her bass lines anchored the chaos while her backing vocals added depth. She often locked eyes with fans in the front rows — a silent connection of gratitude and shared energy.

Setlist Highlights

• “CHOKE” sent the crowd into a frenzy

• “MORE” was delivered with the storytelling intensity of a short film

• “ERROR” was turned up to 11 — strobe lights synced perfectly with the sonic assault

For the encore, they returned with “Automatic Sun”, then paused before the final track. Pau stepped forward, took a deep breath, and addressed the crowd one last time.

The Warning didn’t just play a concert — they unleashed a storm, said goodbye to a chapter, and reminded everyone why rock music still matters. Tight musicianship, fearless vulnerability, and a bond between sisters that lights up every stage they touch.
