Radio Appearances
During October 1992, Live Squad undertook a promotional campaign for their Tommy Boy Records release, Murderahh! / Heartless. Three surviving radio interviews from this period provide a valuable record of the group promoting their music, discussing forthcoming projects and appearing together on air.
The appearances took place between 15 and 30 October 1992. Two were consecutive broadcasts during the group's visit to the Philadelphia area, followed by a further interview in Philadelphia at the end of the month. Together, they offer a snapshot of Live Squad during an important stage of their recording career, as they promoted their first Tommy Boy single and prepared for the planned release of Game Of Survival.
