Limerick, Ireland (1989 – 2003, 2009 – present)
The Cranberries are an irish alternative rock 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 went on hiatus in 2003, but they came back to tour in the summer of 2009.
Combining the melodic jangle of post-Smiths indie-guitar pop with the lilting, trance-inducing sonic textures of late-’80s dream pop and adding a slight celtic tint, The Cranberries became one of the more successful groups to emerge from the pre-brit-pop 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
Linger became an American hit in 1993 that the band also achieved mass success in the U.K. Following the success of Linger, 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.

saw them live! still cant believe! I cracked at "ode to my family" and started crying. ı was a big fan in late 90s and early 00s and could never see them live. and when i left the show it was like, a part of my life was complete, closed. it was like, "ok, i can die now."
