Who the Hell is Pancreatic Cancer, and Why Are They Releasing an Album?

If the name Pancreatic Cancer makes you do a double take, just wait until you hear about the people behind it. This band is basically a chaotic punk rock family reunion, featuring Sarah Herrera (formerly of Exploited Cocks), Jimmy from Exploited Cocks, and Sarah’s brother Matt on drums.

Sarah’s been in more bands than she can count, with names so outrageous they probably got banned from venues before they even played a note. (Taking It In The Rear From John Holmes, RAPE!, and The Fabulous Starfu**ers are just a few.) Now, she’s circling back to Pancreatic Cancer with an album that promises to be a loud, messy, and hilarious ride.

The album, Yelling “Freebird!” at Funerals, is expected to drop sometime this month. It’s got 11 tracks (maybe more if inspiration or tequila strikes), and if the song titles are anything to go by, we’re in for something that lands somewhere between genius and pure absurdity.

A Sneak Peek at the Chaos: Track-by-Track Breakdown

This album is punk rock at its most unfiltered—equal parts satire, brutal honesty, and middle-finger energy. Here are a few of the tracks we’re bracing ourselves for:

• Aloha Spicoli – Basically a love letter to Fast Times at Ridgemont High, with lyrics pieced together from Sarah’s favorite quotes from the movie.
• Drunk In The Studio (There May Have Been Others) – It’s exactly what it sounds like: a drunken recording session where the only lyrics are “There may have been others” on a loop. Apparently, Sarah made sure to be properly wasted for authenticity.
• Eat Your Sacred Cows – A song built entirely from real quotes by JFK, Obama, Lincoln, and Churchill—ones that might make you rethink how you see them.
• Full Disclosure (I Am A Stalker) – Partially autobiographical and, according to Sarah, the result of some court-mandated therapy.
• I Cried When Tatum Hugged His Son – A deeply emotional tribute to the 2024 NBA Champion Boston Celtics and the moment Jayson Tatum embraced his son after their win. Proof that even punks have soft spots.
• Love Me Anywhere (Except In An Elevator) – A rant about how Aerosmith went from rock legends to, as Sarah puts it, a Celine Dion cover band.
• Milwaukee ‘73 (Or Maybe It Was ‘74) – Taken straight from Chapter 12 of Sarah’s novel, which has been “in progress” for way too long.
• Shitbird – The band refuses to let the actual title be printed, which tells you all you need to know.
• It’s Time To Get Serious About Drunk Driving & Let The Bad Times Roll (I Miss Her) – Sarah won’t comment on these, which probably means they’re either too personal or too ridiculous. Or both.

Growing Up Punk With a Hispanic Last Name (But Not Really Being Hispanic)

Sarah Herrera’s last name makes people assume she grew up in a traditional Hispanic household—but that’s not the case. Her father, who’s from Colombia, refused to speak Spanish at home, so her understanding of the language is somewhere between “toddler” and “Google Translate fail.”

That didn’t stop her from attempting to sing in Spanish with The Tommy Lasorda Experience. She even wrote songs in English, ran them through Google Translate, and recorded them that way. One of them, 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—especially at her local pool hall, where (unsurprisingly) everyone speaks Spanish.

Most Embarrassing Moment? Oh, Just Having Her Personal Info Posted Online

When you live a life of chaos, embarrassing moments pile up fast. But Sarah’s most recent disaster? Her ex (well, mostly ex) boyfriend Eddie getting hold of her phone, logging into her Facebook, and publicly posting her actual cell number and home address.

It was up for five days before she noticed.

Her friends think it’s hilarious, especially the really gross voicemails she got from random strangers. Now, the band wants to use the most disgusting one as an intro to a song. She, however, is not amused.

Some Random (But Very On-Brand) Facts About Sarah Herrera

1. She’s dyslexic – Which explains why some of Pancreatic Cancer’s songs were recorded backward, then flipped in the studio.
2. She’s obsessed with virtual reality porn – No shame.
3. She refuses to use Gmail – Because “if you’re getting something for free, you’re the product.”
4. The only insult that actually offends her? – Being called “ordinary.” You can call her literally anything else and she’ll laugh it off. Call her that, and she might fight you.
