Knowing Forever

Knowing Forever is a Southern California hard rock band built
on a collision of grunge weight, alternative-metal force,
nu-metal rhythm and arena-scale melody. Driven by the
creative chemistry of its current lineup - vocalist Drew Marcum,
guitarists Noé Rodriguez and Rudy Gutiérrez, bassist Mondo
Aguayo and drummer Brian Tew - the band turns heavy
progressions into songs with a clear emotional center: direct,
memorable and designed to connect beyond genre lines.
Across two EPs - the self-titled Knowing Forever (2015) and
Minutes to Moments (2020) - the group has developed a
catalog that balances punch, tension and release. Songs
including "Painful Memory," "Reach," "Wasted," "No
Questions," "Tell Me" and "The Fall" map a band equally
committed to hooks and impact.
Mondo Aguayo joined Knowing Forever in 2012 and quickly
became one of the band's foundational songwriters. After
stepping away, he and drummer Brian Tew spent time
together in a previous successful music project, where their
long-standing friendship developed into an even stronger
musical bond. That connection eventually brought Tew to
Knowing Forever in 2026, reuniting the two in a rhythm section
built on years of trust and shared experience.
