Pawn Shoppe Heart is the major-label debut of The Von Bondies, and their second album, released in 2004.

The track 'Mairead' is about Queens of Noize DJ Mairead Nash, who has been associated with Jason Stollsteimer. A shortened version of "C'mon C'mon" is the theme song for the American comedy-drama television show, Rescue Me. It is featured on the EA videogames "Burnout 3: Takedown" and "MVP Baseball 2004".

The record was met with critical acclaim, much like the band's previous work, and has a average score of 80% on Metacritic.com. On the last track, after the three-minute silence following "Pawn Shoppe Heart", there's a hidden track: a cover of "Try a Little Tenderness", a song from the 1930s.
