Phantom Planet is an American alternative rock band hailing from Los Angeles, California. Originally formed in 1994, the band consists of Alex Greenwald (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Darren Robinson (lead guitar), Sam Farrar (bass guitar), and Jeff Conrad (drums). The band gained notable fame in the early 2000s, particularly with their smash hit "California," which became the theme song for the popular TV series "The O.C." Anchoring their sound in hook-driven melodies and energetic rock instrumentation, Phantom Planet also infused their music with a sense of Californian pop sensibility.

Over the years, Phantom Planet has undergone hiatuses and line-up changes but has consistently returned with fresh material that showcases their evolution as a band. In celebration of their legacy and the influence of their breakout album, "The Guest," the band released "The Guest (20th Anniversary Edition)," reminding fans of their enduring presence in the alternative rock landscape. Their extensive discography includes notable works such as "Raise the Dead," a showcase of their dynamism and creativity, and their self-titled album "Phantom Planet," which reaffirms their penchant for crafting infectious tunes. With releases like "Devastator" and its accompanying remixes, Phantom Planet has demonstrated their adaptability to modern production trends while maintaining the core elements that have endeared them to a dedicated fan base spanning decades.
