As a live band the Proletariat were making a name for themselves after becoming finalists in the 1982 Rock ‘n’ Roll Rumble competition hosted by Boston commercial radio station WBCN, and haranguing the oppressive management of Boston’s Paradise Rock Club . Because of their proximity to Rhode Island , they gigged more frequently in Providence and Pawtucket , where they had a devoted following. The group also received monetary contributions from benefactors who wanted to support the Proletariat’s music and politics.
