The band covered "[[Friends of P.]]" for the 2008 [[The Rentals]] tribute album, ''[[Friends of P - Tribute to the Rentals]]'' (also known as ''Lost Out in the Machinery - Songs of the Rentals''). This cover was also included as a bonus track on the UK and Japanese deluxe releases of the band's debut album, ''Elephant Shell''.

In the same year, the band toured with [[Weezer]] on the [[Troublemaker Tour]].
