Serial Joe was a Canadian rock band from Newmarket, Ontario which consisted of high school students Ryan Dennis (vocals, guitar), Ryan Stever (guitar), John Davidson (bass guitar), Dan Stadnicki (drums) and Jamie Fulcher (backing vocals).[2] The group released four studio albums.

Dennis stated that the band's name came from a girl with a speech disorder who would mispronounce the name "Sergio" as "Serial-Joe".[3]

History

[edit | edit source]

In 1998, Serial Joe independently released their debut EP, KICKeD. The EP featured the single "Skidrow". The music video for "Skidrow" won the 1998 MuchMusic Video Award for "Best Independent Video.[4] The band became the house band on YTV's System Crash.

In 1999, the band released their first studio album for Aquarius Records, Face Down,[2] which peaked at No. 47 on the Canadian Albums Chart.[5] The album's first single, "Mistake", gained international airplay.

The band won several awards, and performed at Woodstock 1999 in the "emerging artists" tent.[6]

In late 2001, Serial Joe released their final album Last Chance (At the Romance Dance), which showcased a more melodic pop/rock approach, in contrast to the band's earlier rap-influenced metal sound.[7] The opening track, "Completely", was released as a single and topped the Canadian Singles Chart for three weeks in October and November 2001.[8][9][10] Around 2002, they were dropped from their label and broke up shortly thereafter. Vocalist Ryan Dennis and guitarist Ryan Stever later became part of the hard rock group High Kapitol.
