Limerick, Ireland (1989 – 2004)

The Cranberries are an band from Limerick, Ireland that formed in 1989 and rose to mainstream popularity in the early 90’s.

The band consists of Dolores O’Riordan (vocals, keyboards, guitars), Noel Hogan (guitars, vocals, also a member of mono band), Mike Hogan (bass, vocals), and Fergal Lawler (drums, percussion, also a member of The Low Network). The band has been on hiatus since 2004. But they are back on tour since the summer of 2009.

Combining the melodic jangle of post-Smiths - with the lilting, trance-inducing sonic textures of late-’80s and adding a slight tint, The Cranberries became one of the more successful groups to emerge from the pre- U.K. indie scene of the early ’90s. Led by vocalist Dolores O’Riordan, whose keening, powerful voice is the most distinctive element of the group’s sound, the group initially made little impact in the United Kingdom.

It wasn’t until the lush ballad PlayLinger became an American hit in 1993 that the band also achieved mass success in the U.K. Following the success of PlayLinger, The Cranberries quickly became international stars, as both their 1993 debut album, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?, and its 1994 follow-up, No Need to Argue, sold millions of copies and produced a string of hit singles.
