===The Rentals & Exit From Weezer===
After the release of Weezer's first self titled release in 1994, Sharp formed The Rentals, a side project which was both the chief songwriter and lead-singer.  The Rentals released their first album, ''[[Return of the Rentals]]'', later that year.  The band had a radio hit with the single "[[Friends of P.]]"

Sharp left Weezer officially in 1998 - apparently a mutual and amicable decision between himself and the band - in order to focus on The Rentals.  They released the album ''[[Seven More Minutes]]'' in 1999.  However, the album sold less than Return of the Rentals and the band went on hiatus.
