Love as Laughter was an American indie rock band from Olympia, Washington.

[2] In 2008, the band signed with Isaac Brock's label Glacial Pace and released the album Holy.

At the time, the band featured Jayne, Ivan Berko on bass, Zeke Howard on drums, Andy Macleod on guitar and Robbie Lee on keyboards.

[4] Sam Jayne was found unresponsive lying in the back of his car by New York City Police Department about a week after he was reported missing.

Preliminary research from NYPD showed no “signs of criminality.” His family confirmed that his cause of death was a result of heart-related, “undiagnosed health conditions,” and that he died peacefully while curled up in his car the night before a planned cross-country drive to visit friends around the holidays.
