- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
Have you ever asked yourself what life would be like if you were an armless
skater? Do you consider yourself a weekend warrior?
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.
