Three sisters from Monterrey, Mexico, are taking the Internet by storm with their cover of Metallica’s classic metal jam “Enter Sandman.” The young women, Daniela (guitar), Paulina (drums) and Alejandra (bass) were just 14, 12 and 9 when the video of their group, [The Warning Band](http://www.thewarningband.com/), was posted in July 2014, but their sound rivals Metallica’s original work.

While the video was posted over a year ago, it has been picking up traction as the three sisters work to raise funds in the hopes of attending the Berklee College of Music in Boston. They’ve raised more than $9,500 of their $30,000 [fundraising goal](http://www.gofundme.com/fjjyhs).

The sisters are aiming to get the attention of every YouTube star’s fairy godmother, [Ellen DeGeneres](http://time.com/3607267/50-shades-of-grey-ellen-degeneres-show-parody-video/), according to [Heavy Metal](http://www.heavymetal.com/news/listen-to-metallicas-enter-sandman-by-young-all-girl-band-from-mexico/), in the hopes that she will invite them to perform on her talk show.
