The Cranberries

about

The Cranberries were an Irish rock band formed in Limerick in 1989. The group consisted of lead vocalist and guitarist Dolores O’Riordan, guitarist Noel Hogan, bassist Mike Hogan, and drummer Fergal Lawler. O’Riordan joined the band in 1990, replacing founding member Niall Quinn, and the group’s name was shortened from The Cranberry Saw Us to The Cranberries following her arrival. Although primarily classified as an alternative rock band, their music incorporated elements of indie rock, jangle pop, dream pop, folk rock, post-punk, and pop rock. In 1991, The Cranberries signed with Island Records and released their debut album, "Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?" (1993), which achieved commercial success. Their second album, "No Need to Argue" (1994), brought them international recognition and featured the hit single "Zombie," which became one of their signature songs and an enduring protest anthem. The success continued with the albums "To the Faithful Departed" (1996) and "Bury the Hatchet" (1999). In 2000, the band signed with MCA Records and released their fifth album, "Wake Up and Smell the Coffee" (2001). The album received a mixed commercial response, and the band expressed dissatisfaction with its promotion. After a six-year hiatus beginning in 2003, The Cranberries reunited in 2009 for a North American tour, followed by concerts in Latin America and Europe. Their sixth studio album, "Roses," was released in 2012, marking their first new material in over a
