The Never Nervous blog says you should go download this new tune, “Holding On,” from the Late Ones while it’s still free which it won’t be after two weeks. It’ll be on the new album ...like the day after a heavy rain on Little Heart Records. Release date is May 29.

Little Heart Records has announced the Little Heart Records 2012 NCAA Tournament Contest, with a whole bunch of stuff to give away. Go here to check it out.

Little Heart Records posted a funny story about Palomino Records and Kanye West. (Read it before it disappears in the Facebook scroll.)

Little Heart Records is all atwitter about signing Louisville folk-like band Mercy Academy. The label will be promoting the band’s first album, Tails.

Okay, so Little Heart Records has adding something called Little Heart Records Group. So what? Well, if the blurb that owner Bryan Puckett wrote about it is to be believed, it’s a shop for bands/performers that will aid said bands/performers (acts, for short) with distribution of merchandise, sellable goods and physical releases without the complications of actually being on the Little Heart label. It reads like the details have not all been thoroughly fleshed out, but it might be worth a look if you have a new release coming up. Head over to their Facebook page for info.

Little Heart Records posted a gazillion photos on FAcebook from the label’s 6th Anniversary shows. Here’s a batch and another BIG batch. Hey, maybe you’re in one of them. Go look.

Little Heart Records’s David M. put up a stack of photos from the 6th Anniversary show with Uh-huh Baby Yeah!, Skyscraper Stereo, & Talk Of Spring. There on Flickr.com but we’ll save you some trouble – here’s the slideshow:

From Little Heart Records comes news that On My Honor is looking for an unknown – new – band that has not toured before to go on an East Coast tour with them around June 1-9. Here’s the band’s statement:
“We get a lot of younger bands taking to us all the time about how much they want to get out on the road but don’t know how, or how no one will give them a shot. We remember what its like booking your first tour, and its harder now to start out than ever, and we just thought this would be a great thing to do.
A lot of our friends that we’d like to tour with will already be in the middle of something when we get back so we figured this would be a great time to help out one of those bands. Starting January 12th, all the bands have to do is get their fans to hit up our facebook (facebook.com/onmyhonor) and tell us why they think the band they want to vote for deserves to play the dates. We’ll get together with Little Heart Records when we get back from Europe and pick the band we feel like deserves it the most. People can vote and talk to us as much as they want from now until the contest ends Friday May 19th at midnight.
The more active and passionate people are about the bands, the better shot that band has of being picked.”

The Fine Print: Contest runs from January 12th to May 19th at Midnight. Pretty much anything you do or say as a band to get fans to help is fine by us… just make sure everything is LEGAL. The dates of the tour will be June 1st to June 9th, 2012. Little Heart Records nor On My Honor will be responsible for transportation, so entrants be aware that is not part of the prize. The prize is the dates themselves and access to being able to jump on these dates, as booking tours is hard for new bands ‘starting out.’ Our hope is that doing something like this contest and the prized tour will help your band grow. We are not guaranteeing that it will make all your lives easier. Tour is hard. This contest is designed to help you overcome the most difficult step- booking yourself as an unknown. This contest is intended for younger, newer and less experienced bands- not road warriors. Good luck. The doors to this contest open up on January 12th. You can talk to your friends and family now… but anything they do won’t be considered for your case unless it’s posted for us to see AFTER January 12th. This contest is not valid to friends of On My Honor, their labelmates and KISS. Gene Simmons, you have no trouble booking a tour. Don’t pretend.
