Editor's note

The Cranberries, Ireland's 90s alt-rock voice

A Limerick band whose songs moved from dreamy pop to raw protest, anchored by Dolores O'Riordan's unmistakable vocals.

If you want the whole story in two songs, put on 'Linger' and then 'Zombie'. The distance between them is the band.

They gave the 90s a few songs you can't shake. 'Linger' and 'Dreams' from their 1993 debut are still the sound of a certain kind of yearning. Then 'Zombie' arrived in 1994, a loud, angry turn that felt like a different band entirely. That shift is why they stick around.

They formed in Limerick in 1989. Their first album established a gentle, melodic sound, but 'Zombie' on the second record changed everything. They kept making albums into the 2000s, took a break, and returned for one more in 2012 before O'Riordan's death in 2018.

Archive material and source history

The Cranberries formed in Limerick, Ireland in 1989, with Dolores O'Riordan on vocals, Noel Hogan on guitar, Mike Hogan on bass, and Fergal Lawler on drums. Their 1993 debut album 'Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?' included 'Linger' and 'Dreams,' songs that established their sound with O'Riordan's distinctive voice and the band's melodic arrangements.

In 1994, they released 'Zombie,' a track that became an international hit. The song's raw energy and subject matter stood out from their earlier work. It appeared on their second album 'No Need to Argue,' which also contained 'Ode To My Family' and 'When You're Gone.'

The band recorded several more albums through the 1990s and early 2000s, including 'To the Faithful Departed' in 1996 and 'Wake Up and Smell the Coffee' in 2001. They took a break in the mid-2000s before returning with 'Roses' in 2012. O'Riordan died in 2018.
