Sloppy Jane has launched a gripping cowl of My Chemical Romance’s The Black Parade reduce “Cancer.”
It marks her first new music since 2021’s Madison, and Haley Dahl says, “My Chemical Romance is my biggest influence as far as being an insane band with an incredible amount of world-building. I’ve loved them since I was a kid. I started playing this song live while opening for other bands on the Madison cycle, as kind of an access point. I chose ‘Cancer’ because it’s piano- and strings-driven, and its message is ‘I love you, and now I will die,’ which is basically what I’m saying on every single song on Madison. I don’t like joke-y covers — I love the song and thought it would fit in with mine.”

The “Cancer” cowl is out through Saddest Factory Records, the label imprint of Dahl’s one-time Sloppy Jane bandmate Phoebe Bridgers. Dahl will open for boygenius tonight (Oct. 31) at Hollywood Bowl, which can be with 100 gecs.
After the present with boygenius, Sloppy Jane will probably be on tour supporting Pussy Riot and Deap Vally, together with an NYC present at Le Poisson Rouge on Feb. 17 with Deap Vally. See all dates right here.
