Love Coma

Love Coma was a Christian rock/alternative group in the early 1990s based in the San Antonio area of Texas.^[1] The group disbanded in 1997^[2] following the bankruptcy of its record label.^[3]

Critics have compared the band's sound to that of Simple Minds and The Mission UK, and band members cite other influences such as The Waterboys and The 77s.^[1] The Dallas Morning News, reviewing the album Language of Fools, wrote that the music is "[s]mart and subtle, seductive even."^[4]
