SKATE-O-PHOBIA

State of Mine is an intensive fast melodic-punk/skate-punk band from Louvain/Leuven and Mol in Belgium.

Listening to their music reminds me on Belvedere and Satanic Surfers, or more specifically to the classical fast swedish skatepunk sound.

So, you guys should listen to their first EP called "Geargrinder" (2008) and to their split together with The Octopussys (2009), and keep their name in mind. They have already played together with famous punk-rock/skate-punk/melodic-hardcore bands like High Five Drive, Rentokill, Mute, Jet Market, Pendleton and Smoke or Fire!


Geargrinder-Tracklist:
1. How to survive emocore
2. Oldskool surfing hero
3. WMD (Weapons of mass deception)
4. Mastermind

Split-Tracklist:
1. Opening sequence
2. Conspiracy Earth
3. Burnout
4. How to survive emocore
5. Last chance to dance
6-10. The Octopussy's


They are now working on a new Full Lenght! In spring they record 12 brand-new songs, and will release it until July 23th, when they start their tour with playing concerts outside of Belgium for the first time.
