Coyle’s music is characterized by diversity in genre and style, influenced by musical legends such as Peter Gabriel, Ian Curtis, John Lennon and Björk.
In 1987, Coyle won the US Billboard Album of the Year for his critically acclaimed double album A Slap in the Face for Public Taste. His following album, ‘I’d Sacrifice Eight Orgasms With Shirley MacClaine Just To Be There’ was also fairly successful.
In the late '90s, Coyle reunited with Kelly to produce Silentspace, a follow-up to Lotus Eaters’ No Sense of Sin
Today, Coyle continues to make music, releasing digital singles of his songs every month.
