1. Jon Foreman of Switchfoot and Dustin Kensrue of Thrice and The Modern Post are buddies and tourmates on the To Write Love On Her Arms Heavy and Light Tour. Solidifying the friendship, Jon said, was the fact that Dustin bought him sushi and played him his favorite Tom Waits song.

3. Brandon Heath's new album, No Turning Back, comes out February 10th, but Brandon wants to give fans a special pre-release preview. The problem? On Instagram he said the listening party would be June 4th through the 6th. Of course, it was a typo, and it looks like the preview will be available now through tomorrow. Find it now by going to NRT.cc/streamheath (all lowercase).

8. Jon Micah Sumrall is gearing up for his first solo release, but that doesn't mean his band Kutless is taking it easy. The guys are in the studio writing and recording, and they teased their fans (and some critics) by asking whether they thought the new album would be rock, worship or both.
