Robert Smith


I have no douts that you know who is Robert Smith, maybe you just can't remember the person with this name, but he is the singer of a really huge and famous british band of the begining of the 8o's called The Cure, that I'm sure that you know; If don't, ask to your parents that they will know, or search on google.


He join in other bands and already had a solo career but was with The Cure that he turned famous. Besides the band didn't over, they still playing.


His style most of time is rotuleted like "gotic", with make up in his eyes and mouth and a messy hair, which remember a little bit Tim Burton the director of Alice - a little coincidence- . Anyway.


In the soundtrack of Alice in Wonderland Robert Smith play alone a dramatic and mysterious music called Very Good Advice, That personally I liked very much.


If you want to listening to see if you liked too, here is the music:

Plain White T's


Plain White T's is an American and successful band, with five albuns alredy released.
With the song Hey There Deliah, they received a Grammy nomination in 2008. In the same year, they had two new singles: 1,2,3,4 and Natural Disaster.
A funny thing about them is that they played with Motion City Soundtrack in 2006, another band that is on Alice in Wonderland soundtrack. But that was not the only band Plain White T's played with. Still in 2008, they played with The Cab, Dashboard Confessional and with my favorite one: Panic! at the Disco.
Their music for Alice in Wonderland is Welcome to Mistery, check it out.

In the same year they debut their first single “Durch den Monsun” - that latter had a new version in English, called Monsoon - and recorded the first album Schrei! The band starts to make success.

In 2007 came the second album “Zimmer 483” with the single “Übers ende der Welt”, they were turning to be popular in whole world, so they decided to select their best music’s – all of then in german – and translate to English, so more fans could understand them. Was debut Scream and the singles – Monsoon, Ready, Set, Go! , Don’t Jump and others. They won their first EMA in 2007 and made a huge performance of Monsoon.

Last year they recorded their fourth album called Humanoid, this was the first album debuted in the two languages in the same time, and until now they have two singles the first Automatic/ Automatisch and the second World Behind My Wall/ Lass uns Laufen.

In 2003 Alex Gaskarth, Jack Barakat, Zack Merrick and Rian Dawson joined to form All Time Low, a band from Baltimore that plays pop/punk.

With 3 albums released until now, All Time Low became successful band in Brazil when they recorded a song for the movie Jennifer's Body (Garota Infernal, in Brazil).

It all starts when in 2004, when the band signed a contract with Esmerald Moon Records and recorded an EP. One year after, came the first album: The Party Scene.

They still recorded another EP in 2006 with Hopeless Records, and another CD, the most important one in their career, So Wrong, It’s Right.
