A banda começou como um projeto paralelo de Matt Sharp, então baixista do Weezer nos meados da década de 90. O primeiro album, Return of the Rentals (1995), traz 10 musicas em um estilo até então único na música alternativa: guitarras distorcidas aliadasà sintetizadores Moog, violinos e os vocais alternados de Sharp e Cherielynn Westrich além das irmãs Haden, da banda That Dog. Sharp acabou saindo do Weezer e continuando apenas com o Rentals

Friends of P by David Dineen-Porter
"I was watching MTV the other day, and a song by the Rentals came on. I'm not totally sure, but it looks like the lead singer is no other than Matt Sharp from Weezer (did they split up?), when I recorded it on tape, I realized the drummer is Patrick Wilson, the drummer for Weezer, no clue who the other two guys are, but I'm pretty sure they're not Rivers Cuomo and Bryan Bell." by Ben Wampler
I'd like to thank Ben for getting the TAB completly wrong, and allowing me to fix it. BTW, weezer did not split up, they are still playing to gether, Matt Sharp is in both bands, as is Pat Wilson, the new Weezer CD should be out by the summer of 1996.
"Anyway, I thought I'd just TAB it out to the best I can." By Ben Wampler
You didn't do very well, but it's ok.
