    An intriguing bit of music from the clan of Sally Forth Records, a Dutch record label. Of the 9 bands on this sampler, Selfminded's "Clean" is the only cut that is explicitly Christian and this shred of hardcore madness is taken from their self-titled debut. Kryptonite Garden's quirky violin merriment contrasting with their female vocals intrigued the ears as did Glorybox's chick folk rock which was clean sounding with a nice hook. The experimental electronica of Rollercoaster 23 played fun with the eardrums. This sampler does the bands justice and sells a visit to the label's website.
