Hardcore music takes hard work. Senior Dave Jordan specializes in both.
Last fall, Jordan and longtime friend Brian Kapinos formed Lakeview Records.
"It was something we always talked about," Jordan said. "So finally we sat down and said 'Hey, we are going to do this?' "

Bonnie and Clyde, Sonny and Cher, Starsky and Hutch and Milo and Otis are some of history's most popular and powerful pairings. But they can't beat a girl and her handbag.

When I told Eddy Kwon, vocalist and fiddler of The Happy Maladies, that I'd like to write about his band, he invited me over for dinner.

"Eagle Eye" is painful to watch. In spite of its very few redeeming qualities, this film, the latest from the actor-director team of Shia LaBeouf and D.J. Caruso, not only hurts the eyes, but also the stomach and brain.
