Trivia

In 2000 the band released its first single, "Gusto Ko Ng Baboy", telling of a young man's fascination with pigs since childhood. As the song progresses, it becomes a political tirade against corruption in society.

In 2004 Radioactive Sago Project released its only single from "Urban Gulaman", "Astro", depicting a person's addiction to cigarette smoking. The song was also used in the "Pinoy/Blonde" soundtrack the following year.

In 2005 Radioactive Sago Project received three nominations at the MTV Pilipinas Video Music Awards: Favorite Group, Best Video, and Best Director (R.A. Rivera).

In 2004 Radioactive Sago Project released one of their songs in their album Urban Gulaman called "Alaala ni Batman" (Memories of Batman)it tells the story about a man's idolization of Batman since his childhood. As the song progresses it finally talks about the stupidity of people, actors and politics that continue to lower the country's economy through their corrupt ways. In the end of the song, batman commits suicide by going on top of Ayala building and jumps down. Once batman jumped, that's when the singer remembers that he couldn't fly.

their current album is "Tangina mo! Ang daming Nagugutom sa Mundo Fashonista ka pa rin!(you son of a bitch! many people in the world are starving, and yet you still worry about fashion!)" which released last 2007.
