  Ash cover The Rentals, 'Please Let That Be You'. Available now!

  

  Last year before 'Twilight...' was released we hinted that we'd recorded a cover song for part of a tribute album. After a somewhat long time it has now finally seen the light of day and we are pleased to announce that our version of The Rentals, 'Please Let That Be You' is now available for download from iTunes and Amazon. We first met Matt Sharp when we toured with Weezer may moons ago and we were more than happy to contribute to this collection of Rentals classics, 'Friends of P - Tribute to the Rentals' along with other acts like Tokyo Police Club, Tegan And Sara and Morningwood.

  
  

  Download, 'Please Lets that Be You' from the following sites:

  
  

  iTunes (US)
