A Deep Dive Into the Band, Their Wild Past, and Their Unfiltered Music
Who is Pancreatic Cancer and Why Are They Dropping an Album?
Pancreatic Cancer isn’t just a name that makes you do a double take—it’s a punk rock powerhouse formed by veterans of the underground scene. Led by Sarah Herrera (formerly of Exploited Cocks), the band features Jimmy from Exploited Cocks and Sarah’s brother, Matt, on drums. Known for their audacious and controversial past, members have played in shockingly named bands like Taking It In The Rear From John Holmes and RAPE!, proving that their music is as unapologetic as their history.
Now, the trio is gearing up to drop their latest project, Yelling “Freebird!” at Funerals, a raucous, 11-track album set to release this month. Combining twisted humor, deep-cut pop culture references, and scathing social commentary, the record is poised to shake up the punk world with its raw, unfiltered sound.
Inside the Madness: A Track-by-Track Breakdown
The album is an unpredictable mix of satire, personal confessions, and punk absurdity. Here’s a preview of what to expect:
- Aloha Spicoli – A tribute to Fast Times at Ridgemont High, with lyrics inspired by Herrera’s favorite quotes from the film.
- Drunk In The Studio (There May Have Been Others) – A repetitive, alcohol-fueled anthem that could either be a skip or a punk masterpiece, depending on your level of intoxication.
- Eat Your Sacred Cows – A provocative track featuring direct quotes from JFK, Obama, Lincoln, and Churchill, challenging listeners to rethink history.
- Full Disclosure (I Am A Stalker) – A disturbingly honest account of past behaviors, some of which, according to Herrera, are autobiographical.
- I Cried When Tatum Hugged His Son – An unexpectedly sentimental nod to Jayson Tatum’s emotional embrace with his son after the 2024 NBA Finals.
- Love Me Anywhere (Except In An Elevator) – A scathing critique of Aerosmith’s evolution from rock legends to, as Herrera puts it, a “Celine Dion cover band.”
- Milwaukee ‘73 (Or Maybe It Was ‘74) – A track lifted straight from Chapter 12 of Herrera’s long-overdue novel.
- It’s Time To Get Serious About Drunk Driving & Let The Bad Times Roll (I Miss Her) – Two deeply personal songs so raw that Herrera refuses to comment on them.
Growing Up Punk in a “Traditional” Hispanic Family
Despite her last name, Herrera’s upbringing wasn’t what most would expect. Her Colombian father never spoke Spanish at home, leaving her with a preschool-level grasp of the language. However, she has found her own way to embrace her roots—by attempting to sing in Spanish with The Tommy Lasorda Experience. One of her comedic tracks, Soy Mitad Latina Pero No Puedo Hablar Español Ni Salva Mi Vida (I’m Half Latin But I Can’t Speak Spanish To Save My Life), has become a fan favorite, particularly among Spanish-speaking pool hall regulars.
Embarrassing Moments? Take Your Pick
If you think punk rockers are immune to embarrassment, think again. Herrera recalls one particularly disastrous weekend fueled by Jägermeister, which resulted in regrettable text messages and a Facebook hijacking by her (mostly ex) boyfriend, Eddie. His revenge? Posting her phone number and home address for the world to see—for five whole days. Now, her bandmates want to use the most disgusting voicemail she received as the intro to a new track. She’s not thrilled.
Things You Might Not Know About Sarah Herrera
- She’s dyslexic – Which explains why some of Pancreatic Cancer’s songs were recorded entirely backward before being reversed in post-production.
- She’s obsessed with virtual reality porn – Enough said.
- She thinks Gmail users are suckers – “If you’re getting something for free, you’re the product,” she warns.
- The one insult that actually offends her? – Being called “ordinary.” Anything else, she’ll laugh off. Call her that, and she’ll “show you The Bronx.”
