Fresh for 2015, Bonhom made up of James Coleman and Diwon release their much anticipated dreamy-pop record, “Sex War” today. Seven of the tracks have already been played and premiered on shows such as Vanderpump Rules and Witches of Eastend and their second single “NYE” is currently being remixed by 35 countries as part of Indaba Music’sremix contest.
The two defy genres and labels as they blend elements of folk, pop, hip hop, edm and rock into the unmistakable sound of Bonhom. The theme of the album is the dichotomy of life, where sex and war are synonyms of “life and death.” With a fantastic fusion of their musical talents,Coleman and Diwon produce the songs of which dreams are made.
