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.

The Thunder Rolls
State Of Mine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The city's lookin′ like a ghost town on a moonless summer night
Raindrops on the windshield, there's a storm movin' in
He′s headin′ back from somewhere, that he never should have been
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls
Every light is burnin' in a house across town
Askin′ for a miracle, hopin' she′s not right
Prayin' it's the weather, that′s kept him out all night
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls
The thunder rolls
And the lightnin′ strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls
She's waitin′ by the window, when he pulls into the drive
She rushes out to hold him, thankful he's alive
But on the wind and rain a strange new perfume blows
And the lightnin′ flashes in her eyes
And he knows that she knows
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls
The thunder rolls
And the lightnin' strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls
She runs back down the hallway, and through the bedroom door
She reaches for the pistol kept in the dresser drawer
Tells the lady in the mirror, "He won′t do this again"
'Cause tonight will be the last time she'll wonder where he′s been
The thunder rolls
And the lightnin′ strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls
The thunder rolls
"The Thunder Rolls" is a song by Garth Brooks that was released in 1991. The song tells a dramatic story about a man returning home in the middle of a brutal storm after being out all night, while his wife is desperately waiting at home waiting for him. The song starts at 3:30 in the morning with the deserted atmosphere of the city as the man makes his way home. The first line of the song, "3:30 in the mornin', not a soul in sight," sets the eerie and suspenseful tone of the song. The lyrics paint a dark and stormy picture of the man's return home, with the rain coming down hard, and the thunder rolls in the background throughout the song.
The second verse shifts to the wife's perspective, who is anxiously waiting for her husband to come home. She watches the storm, hoping that his delay is due to the weather, but as time passes, her fear grows. She is pacing around in her flannel gown, hoping for a miracle while praying it's not another woman keeping her man away from her. The chorus "And the thunder rolls, and the thunder rolls" is repeated, bringing in the tension and anticipation of what's to come.
As the man returns home, the wife rushes to hold him, relieved that he's alive, only to smell a strange new perfume on him, indicating that he was with someone else during the night. She is furious, grabs a pistol and vows that this behavior will not happen again.
Overall, the song paints a picture of a relationship that is falling apart, and the storm serves as a metaphor for the impending doom that is about to strike. The line "Another love grows cold, on a sleepless night" in the chorus serves as a tragic reminder that relationships can fall apart even in the midst of a terrible storm.

I gotta say, as a gentleman that grew up on the original, y'all did this song justice! I would believe Garth would approve! What would be even more epic, is if he sang with y'all as a collab.
@davidandfriends4715
All that Remains version is better
@Shankius
@Nick Christian, i beg to differ! I like the All that Remains version, but this feels better to me!

But Garth did a cover...he wasn't the original.
@buckeyefanatic6929
Garth is dead ?
@darthvader8094
Whoever mixed this needs a raise
And at 3:10 they synched her slamming the car door with the bass hit. Nice touch
@lilbonzia
Garth never knew it was meant to be metal, but the thunder made it metal. Best live performance I ever saw was this song by Garth in the Tacoma dome on his last tour. Excellently done boys 👍
@followherheart2859
New fan!!! Absolutely obsessed with this and Gods Country! Definitely need more
@jodyjackson4680
As a hillbilly that grew up on garth I gotta say, this song is a awesome cover! You guys did an outstanding job 😆
