The Rentals are best known for their mid-1990s hit single, "[[Friends of P.]]" The group released two albums during their initial period of activity, 1995's ''[[Return of the Rentals]]'' and 1999's ''[[Seven More Minutes]]'', on [[Maverick Records]]. The band quietly dissolved following the world tour for their second album, but in 2005 Sharp reformed the band with intentions of touring and recording a new record. In [[2007]], The Rentals released ''[[The Last Little Life EP]]'' containing three new tracks and a revamped version of 'Sweetness and Tenderness', a classic track from their debut album. | |||
[[Matt Sharp]]'s concept for The Rentals began before his involvement in Weezer. He is heavily influenced by late 70s/early 80s new wave, punk, and synth pop, particularly musician [[Gary Numan]] and his project Tubeway Army. As such, The Rentals' sound is dominated by this influence. | [[Matt Sharp]]'s concept for The Rentals began before his involvement in Weezer.
