Radioactivity has been played on NTS shows including Yesterday's News, with Battered first played on 1 February 2017.

Radioactivity is a continuation of The Novice - Jeff Burke's band while living in Japan. Jeff has since moved back to Texas, and out of respect to the Japanese lineup of the band, has changed the name to Radioactivity. Some of these songs are re-purposed Novice tracks, while others are brand new. Jeff is one of the most distinctive songwriters in the punk rock underground, and these songs will sound instantly familiar to any fans of THE MARKED MEN or The POTENTIAL JOHNS. Band members include Jeff Burke, Mark Ryan and Gregory Rutherford, whose credits read like an all-star lineup of Texas punk and garage rock royalty, including members of MIND SPIDERS, BAD SPORTS, WAX MUSEUMS, THE REDS and VIDEO.
