Love Coma was a Christian rock and alternative band originating from San Antonio, Texas, active primarily in the early 1990s. The band ceased operations in 1997 after their record label declared bankruptcy.
Their musical style drew comparisons to Simple Minds and The Mission UK, with notable inspirations from The Waterboys and The 77s. The album Language of Fools received praise from The Dallas Morning News, which called it "[s]mart and subtle, seductive even."
Following the band's dissolution, lead vocalist Chris Taylor embarked on a solo path. In 1997, he won a Dove soap commercial contest with the song Lather Up, which was adapted to the melody of the Rolling Stones' Start Me Up. His 2000 solo release, Worthless Pursuit of Things on the Earth, earned a nomination for Rock Album of the Year at the 2001 Dove Awards. Additionally, Taylor collaborated with Dave Stewart on the track "Here and Gone (But Everlasting)."
In 2019, Love Coma reunited to produce their first album in over two decades, culminating in the release of Love Coma on October 26, 2020.
