Most recently, Warren has performed with The Exploding Boys who act as the backing band for tribute shows featuring various singers.
Warren's recorded material is notable for driving, "tribal-sounding" bass lines, and bass lines that provided the melody line in a song by using chord variations, most often against a pedal note. The prominent use of the bass guitar to provide such melodic interest was a feature of many Died Pretty recordings and can be traced throughout the band's history. Warren has appeared in eight Died Pretty videos and press interviews in various media outlets.
