The Heart String & How to Pull It is the third album by Scottish rock band Sucioperro, released on 7 March 2011 by Xtra Mile Recordings.

The artwork was once again done by bassist Stewart Chown, in collaboration with longtime Sucioperro photographer Gordon Burniston.

In order to fund the publication and promotion of the album, and the March/April 2011 tour, the fan-funding intermediary Pledgemusic was used, which gave fans the opportunity to take up some special offers from the band.

The Sucioperro Pledgemusic statement indicated that a percentage of profits would be donated to Alzheimer Scotland when the fundraising target was reached.

Full details of the track listing and album artwork were released on 28 February, followed shortly by news of a fourteen date tour throughout England and Scotland, starting on 21 March and finishing on 8 April.
