O globo - Teen rockers conquest Brazil and live the school

O Globo: Teen rockers conquest Brazil and on the exterior they try to scape from the books, but they have to go against every teenager’s problems.


It maybe is because of the time changes - the tools to do and give music are on the hand of everybody - or just on the recorders marketing. But the guitars world is full of precocious people. If you like or not, the «emofreak» German band Tokio Hotel is full of it. The twins Bill and Tom Kaulitz, had 15 years old when they left the school, because of their first album (2005).

The twins of Tokio Hotel stopped studying when they were 15 and they lived a crazy story. Their first album, “Schrei” was rescheduled on the 2005 Summer Holidays and had more than 500 thousands of copies sold. When they come back from Summer Holidays, they had a platoon of jornalists waiting for them for taking photos and make interviews.

- We couldn’t stay there. Was a fast success. We had to “give up” from our family, friends. But I don’t exchange my life. I love to do music - admits Tom.

Tokio Hotel recorded two German albums and, when it was needed, they recorded a English album. Bill, the androgynous vocalist, doesn’t speak well the language, but he trained it. In 2007, “Scream” was reschuled on USA and was well received by the audience, who were always comparing them to Paramore.
