![]() That's why, in a matter of seconds, you can find videos for Brockhampton's first two singles, "Bet I" and "Hero", on YouTube. Once something is on the Internet, it's out there for good. As far as finding a complete personnel list for AliveSinceForever goes.well, good luck with that one. Depending on which source you trust, AliveSinceForever had somewhere between 30 and 40 members, all of whom were recruited via an online Kanye West fan forum. If you think that's a lot, consider that several of the band's future members, including Kevin Abstract and Dom McLennon, were previously part of AliveSinceForever. Wikipedia currently lists 16 members, but a Rolling Stone profile from two months back named 13. Even the group's own website doesn't have an official list. Good luck figuring out how many people are in BROCKHAMPTON at any given time. Thanks to slick singles like "Sugar" and "No Halo", though-to say nothing of recent appearances on Ellen and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon-that's exactly what Brockhampton is achieving BROCKHAMPTON plays the PNE Forum on Saturday (October 26). Often performing in prison-issue orange jumpsuits and Blue Man Group face paint, the group doesn't necessarily have the look of an act that's gunning for mainstream acceptance. Obviously as they’ve gotten more and more famous and have been expanding their sounds it’s inevitable for them to switch up their style, but MTV1987 will always be near and dear to me and be one of my favorite albums of 2014 (which was a super stacked year).BROCKHAMPTON perversely insists on being called a "boyband" (all one word, please), but no one will ever mistake the Texas-spawned rap collective for the Backstreet Boys, One Direction, or BTS. Seeing as how it’s been 5 years since it’s release it still holds up just as well for me and if anything I greatly miss this sound from Kevin and Romil. Kevin’s very personal and emotional lyrics / cadences added a great layer of sound to everything on top it of being just “poppy” enough to make each track very catchy. I had found out about Kevin through my friend and after meeting him the album stuck out even more to me.īeing an aspiring producer myself at the time, Romil’s style with heavy synths and experimental drum choices were a huge inspiration to me. At the time of release I had actually met Kevin when I was in college at Texas State in 2014 my childhood friend, whom is an up and coming DJ/Producer in Austin, introduced me when the Brockhampton boys were living in San Marcos. ![]()
