Avril Lavigne, All Time Low, Pete Wentz with Blink-182's Mark Hoppus and Owl City have all been tapped to appear on "Almost Alice," a built-to-order album inspired by Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland." This is not the soundtrack to the Johnny Depp-starring film, mind you, but the March 2 release date will whet your whistle for the visual charms of the 3D film, due March 5.

Franz Ferdinand, Shinedown, Wolfmother, Robert Smith of the Cure, Grace Potter, Tokio Hotel, Plain White T's and more have all contributed brand new tracks to "Almost Alice," with song titles like "Follow Me Down," "Tea Party" and "White Rabbit."

Pop-punk princess Lavigne is currently working on specially penned track "Alice (Underground)." It sounds like it may bust up the time that the Canadian singer-songwriter may be spending on her own effort, her oft-delayed fourth full-length. Itwas being formerly being produced by husband and Sum 41 rocker Deryck Whibley, but things got complicated as Lavigne filed for divorce in September. If and when the album comes out, it'll be the follow-up to her 2007 set "The Best Damn Thing" and will likely have a bit more spit and vinegar.

A video of "Alice (Underground)" will drop in early February, according to MySpace.

The Danny Elfman-scored soundtrack to "Alice in Wonderland" will also come out on March 2, as will a version of "Almost Alice" with two bonus tracks in Hot Topic stores.

 1. “Alice (Underground)” performed by Avril Lavigne
