Filled with stories of escape and the value of youth, From Sumi To Japan, draws from a variety of genres that Beyond Race Magazine praises as an intelligent “collection of nostalgic songwriting and dreamy music that will make you feel light years away from New York.” The band’s enchanting pop, dreamy ballads and experimental rock have also been called “meaningful music and downright fun, two things that have rarely come together on any single 2009 album to date” by Stereo Subversion. Jeremiah Edmond from Manchester Orchestra simply calls Bonz “one of his favorite new musicians” and an “incredible artist” while The Orlando Weekly says, “expect great things from this fledging indie breeze that could easily become a monsoon.”
Over the last year, Brian Bonz and The Dot Hongs have toured with Manchester Orchestra, Kevin Devine, Brand New, Nightmare of You and Roger Miller (Mission of Burma), to name a few.
