'Dragon's Pain Agency'
a diary of events between the 10 June – 12 July written by the lead singer, was made available online from 16 July 2007 and includes information about recording developments, song titles, eating habits and progress through the computer game ' Black'.

The artwork for the Pain Agency era was designed by bassist Stewart Chown an
Gordon Burniston
The style was carried across t
the official Sucioperro website
which was also designed by Chown, until the site was updated for the release of the band's third album, The Heart String & How To Pull It.

Although the official release date was 4 May, the album became available to purchase at gigs from 27 April to coincide with the start of a substantial UK tour. A promotional copy of the album appeared on eBay on 13 April but was withdrawn by the seller later that day, apparently at the request of the record label.

A deluxe digital download, which contains extensive bonus material related to the ''Pain Agency'' era, was made available from the band's online shop in 2010.
