The Road The Stage has officially gone International - or whatever you say when you interview your first non-Canadian guests!

The Warning were in between shows in Alberta and stopped by for fresh waffles, to educate TRTS on parts of their homeland in Monterrey, Mexico - discuss their wild trajectory and how 3 sisters approach writing and performing some pretty killer rock music. If you haven;t heard of Ale, Dani and Pau from The Warning just yet - it’s only a matter of time. They are a BIG DEAL.
