Then State of Mine's fast and melodic skatepunk might be a perfect fit for you. Mostly influenced by the nineties Swedish skatepunk sound, and more established bands as Belvedere, Lagwagon and Man(d)y M(o)ore, State of Mine effectuated more than 75 shows on local and not-so-local stages in Belgium and abroad since November 2007. These shows included support slots for bands as SNFU (Can), Smoke or Fire (USA), Rentokill (Au), Mute (Can), High Five Drive (Can), Pendleton (UK), The Living Daylights (UK), Jet Market (It) and other massively talented, yet less known bands.
A first release followed after nearly a year of constant rehearsing and performing. The DIY "Geargrinder" EP sold out within the first months after it's release in October 2008. After a major change in the SoM line up (one guitar less, a replacement behind the drums and a new lead vocal), plans were made for a split CD with The Octopussy's, to be released under Kickass Records (the band’s own D.I.Y. record label) by the end of April 2009.
After a rushy 2009 filled with playing shows and promoting the split CD in Belgium, the band scheduled to start writing their debut full album “Accelerate!” around the end of the year. It quickly got clear that the only feasible option was to do the whole thing in a D.I.Y. fashion.
Slowly, but steadily, the recording sessions for “Accelerate!” started off in April 2010.
And now, at the start of 2011, the band is extremely proud to be able to present the finished album.
Next to that the need for a second guitar player became quite acute going through the recording process.
Victor Navarro (ex-Struggling for reason) happily filled the vacant spot.
As a fivepiece, State of Mine guarantees an energetic live show, spiced up with old and new skatepunk covers.

Cant Stop Me
State Of Mine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eye for an eye
Tooth for a tooth
I'm telling you fools
That I got nothing left to lose
Broken and bruised
Black and blue
And I'm showing the world
I still got a lot more to prove
Now I'm coming out swinging
For your throat in the ring
Standing there bleeding
Yeah you know what I bring
Know what I mean
Duck when the bell is rung
'Cause it's a little too late now
To get up and run
Get up and run
You've broken every part of me
I'm bloodied and I'm beaten down
I'll keep rising higher, higher, higher now
So don't fuck with me
You're never gonna hold me down
I'll keep rising higher, higher, higher
The world can't stop me now
This is the calm
Before the storm
I was born for more
Now you got me ready for war
Remember my name
Everybody outta my way
Back up or get knocked out
This ain't a game
'Cause I never stay down
When they push me around
See the world stand up
When they give me the crown
Now it's go time
Do or die, dead or alive
You can try to kill me
But I will survive
I will survive
You've broken every part of me
I'm bloodied and I'm beaten down
I'll keep rising higher, higher, higher now
So don't fuck with me
You're never gonna hold me down
I'll keep rising higher, higher, higher
The world can't stop me now
Can't stop me, no you can't stop me
Can't stop me, no you can't stop me
Can't stop me, no you can't stop me
Can't stop me, no you can't stop me
Can't stop me, no you can't stop me
Can't stop me, no you can't stop me
Can't stop me, no you can't stop me
Can't stop me, no you can't stop me now
You can't stop me, no you can't stop me now
You've broken every part of me
I'm bloodied and I'm beaten down
I'll keep rising higher, higher, higher
You've broken every part of me
I'm bloodied and I'm beaten down
I'll keep rising higher, higher, higher now
So don't fuck with me
You're never gonna hold me down
I'll keep rising higher, higher, higher
The world can't stop me now
You can't stop me, no you can't stop me now

I can't wait until you guys make it big. Nothing against most modern music but I've often complained about not enough rock bands anymore. Seems like my prayers have been answered. Keep up the amazing work and I'll be looking forward to every little thing you guys put out in the future!
@rustysussen5225
Most new rock isnt done right either. But I guess it makes a good band that much more impressive anymore.
