LANE MOORE + IT WAS ROMANCE is an indie pop band founded by musician, comedian, and author Lane Moore. The band’s self-titled debut album garnered praise for being the “Best Band Of The Year” by BUST Magazine, Billboard calling them a “band you should know” and Village Voice describing their music as “Moore’s velvety vocal delivery [evoking] feelings of loneliness with a danceable beat, sauntering around like the life of the party, occasionally winking just to make sure you’re hooked.” Paste Magazine praised the band’s “catchy, blast loud and sing-proud thoughtfulness [that] walks multiple genres with a deft grace.”
Pitchfork named their self-titled album one of the records to watch. Paste Magazine described the band as “Hearkening back to a Dig Me Out era Sleater Kinney, Moore’s expansive sound covers love and all its mishaps with a catchy, blast loud and sing proud thoughtfulness. Blending garage rock with soul and experimental undertones, It Was Romance, walks multiple genres with a deft grace to mirror Moore’s bubbly wit and eye-catching presence.” The album was praised by Vogue, Entertainment Weekly, Billboard, VICE, The Huffington Post, The Guardian, New York Magazine, BUST Magazine, Refinery 29, The Onion‘s AV Club, and many others. Billboard named Lane Moore and It Was Romance one of 16 Female-Fronted Bands You Should Know.
Their much-anticipated sophomore EP, Final Girl, was released on February 14, 2025 on Mint 400 records.
