Rising from the ashes of beloved Brooklyn drunk-rockers The Great American Novel, The Romantic Comedy is the brainchild of Layne Montgomery, Pete Kilpin, Aidan Shepard and Max Miller. They released the Let's Be Sad Together EP (produced by former Passion Pit and Team Spirit member Ayad Al Adhamy) in late 2016 through New Jersey-based label Rhyme and Reason Records. The band is currently building up a following in their hometown of New York, while working on their full-length LP at Diamond City Studio with Ayad Al Adhamy.
