PART 2

You're listening to [station] and we're talking with Naarah and Matt from Alabaster Box.
I notice, Naarah, that you're sporting a God's Little Rocker top. You often wear them at gigs. What is God's Little Rocker?
IV09      God's Little Rocker... still do the same.    0:44

The website talks about a number of pretty hot topics from self esteem and miniskirts, to purity and suicide. I would imagine that you get a lot of email from girls talking about these topics, what's the most common?
IV10      People don't... out there for them.    0:26

So what do you say to someone who's cutting themselves?
IV11      Well I guess... and he's there.    0:33

IV14      Well at the moment... rest of the year too    0:14

What about you Matt?
IV15      Yeah, we're finishing off... afterwards would ya?    0:21

For sure!  Before you go we better talk about your new single from the Love On the Radio CD and that's the song Fine. Every time you perform it gets a tremendous response from the crowd. How did you come to write it?
IV16     I guess... good time with it.    0:38

Is Fine "life changing" stuff, or do you see it as "good clean fun"?
IV17     I'd hope... to rock.    0:13

It's been great having you on the show. Naarah and Matt, thanks for coming in.
