The Rentals - Definition and Overview

The Rentals are an American rock and roll band fronted by Matt Sharp, former bass player for Weezer. The Rentals have released two albums, Return Of (The Rentals) (1995) and Seven More Minutes (1999).

Band members on Return Of included Patrick Wilson (also of Weezer) on drums, Rod Cervera (guitar), Tom Grimley (moog), Petra Haden (violin, vocals), and Cherielynn Westrich (vocals, moog). They are known for their quirky Moog-driven melodies. The single "Friends of P" off their first album was a hit.

Matt Sharp is currently working on solo projects, and the band is no longer together.
