"Big Brat" was the single from Phantom Planet's self-titled third album, released on Epic in January 2004, and it caught a band mid-makeover. Out went the radio-friendly pop rock; in came garage rock that invited comparisons to the Strokes, with Dave Fridmann producing. The lineup moved too: co-founder Jason Schwartzman left the drum stool during the sessions to pursue his acting career, and the record became the first to feature Jeff Conrad, formerly of the Siren Six! and Big City Rock.

The video doubled the fun, cutting between the band tearing through the song in an urban setting and the same crew shooting a low-budget zombie flick nearby, and the zombie movie itself went up on the band's website as an alternate video.
