AliveSinceForever was a group formed by Kevin Abstract in 2009 that served as a predecessor to Brockhampton. Although the majority of Brockhampton members were formerly part of AliveSinceForever, AliveSinceForever is regarded by Brockhampton members to be a separate group. Main members included Brockhampton members Abstract, Matt Champion, and Dom McLennon, former Brockhampton members including Ameer Vann and Rodney Tenor (then going by the name MiC Kurb), and others such as Deon and Sage Williams.[57][58]
NoWifi (stylized as NOWIFIII) was a chillwave band founded by four undisclosed members of Brockhampton (under the pseudonyms Milo, Cain, Gi, and Cohen) in 2014. It is theorized that the group consisted of Kevin Abstract, bearface, Romil Hemnani, and Henock "HK" Sileshi respectively, due to faces on the cover art, the vocalist's voices, and other clues.[61] The group released one album.[62]
