Here's an interview that I translated from a French mag. The interview was done when Serial Joe came to Montreal August 21rst 1999.
 

What made you wanna play hard rock music?
Ryan:This style of music gives us the possibility to enjoy ourselves. And of course there's also the influence of all the other groups that we've been listening to.
Dan:(I can't translate it... stupid French words. If anyone can help.. contact me!)

What bands do you listen to?
Ryan:Silverchair's album Neon Ballroom, and Rage Against the Machine.
Dan: Limp Bizkit and Esthero, an excellent duo from Toronto.

If you weren't in the music biz., what would you be doing?
Ryan: Sports, such as skateboarding or mountain biking.
Dan: I would probably work in the middle of the city, because I love it! Montreal is a beautiful city-- and it's not as polluted and dirty like Vancouver!

Do you go to school?
Ryan: Of course, and I'm hoping to go to university someday soon. I don't know what the others wanna do, but I'm gonna continue going to school.
Dan: My parents work at the university so I don't really have a choice! *laughs* But my friends and I don't really talk about school. It's a boring subject to talk about, if you know what I mean!

Does it bother you when people talk about you guys being so young?
Ryan: It depends. If they consider us like objects that attract their curiosity, then yes it does! But if people are suprised that guys as young as us can do what we do, it's really flattering and we thank people for thinking that.
Dan: Being 15, doesn't mean we can't write good songs. And I think that we proved that with our new album, Face Down.

What changed in your lives since you've been in Serial Joe?
Ryan: My voice changed, it's much more deeper. I like it! (He better... it's sexy!)
Dan: We also got better, but I'm anxious to get older to progress even more. It's frustrating when you can't play your instrument perfectly. (No one's perfect...)

What's one of your dreams?
Ryan: To be a band that is recognized around the world.
Dan: To stay in this buisness for as long as possible.
Ryan: Maybe not for 50 years, but for quite awhile! *laughs*

Who would you like to work with one day?
Ryan: Rage Against the Machine, Limp Bizkit, Korn or Silverchair!
Dan: Or with a DJ! It'd be cool. But right now, we're working on what we've done so far.

Do you guys speak French?
Ryan: I already lived in Sudbury, a French part in Ontario; I do know a bit. Sadly, I don't run into anyone that I can talk French to! (*coughs* Ryan, I speak French... come and talk to me anytime. Hehehe)
Dan: I can say "bonjour" and "au revoir" but that's about it. I got a C in French class... So I still have a long way to go!
 

What does the year 2000 tell you?
Ryan: I'm not gonna make a big deal about it. I think that people are going overboard with that question. The third world countries might have serious problems with their computer equipment, but nothing serious will happen in North America.
Dan: I don't believe that the planet will explode the 31rst of December. And the new millennium is supposed to begin in 2001, right? The 20th century ends the 31rst of December 2000, and the 21rst century begins in January 2001, so why make a big deal about it?
