Dolores O'Riordan responded to the advertisement and auditioned by writing lyrics and melodies to some of the band's existing demos. Following the departure of the group's original singer, Niall Quinn, the trio placed an advertisement for a female singer. Brothers Noel and Mike Hogan (guitar and bass, respectively) formed the band in Limerick, Ireland, with drummer Fergal Lawler in 1990. Originally, the Cranberries were a band called the Cranberry Saw Us. Her last vocal recordings were used to construct the Cranberries' final work, 2019's Grammy-nominated In the End, a goodbye to O'Riordan, fans, and the band itself. However, in early 2018, O'Riordan died from an accidental drowning in London. After nearly a decade, the quartet returned with 2012's Roses and 2017's Something Else. They continued down this path into the 21st century before taking an extended hiatus in 2003 to pursue solo efforts. By the time of their third album, 1996's To the Faithful Departed, they had added distorted guitars to their sonic palette and began crafting more socially conscious music. Following "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. It wasn't until the lush ballad "Linger" became a worldwide hit in 1993 that the band achieved mass success. Led by vocalist Dolores O'Riordan, whose keening, powerful voice was the most distinctive element of the group's sound, they initially had little impact in the United Kingdom.
The group covered "(They Long to Be) Close to You" on the 1994 tribute album, If I Were a Carpenter.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 indie scene of the early '90s. A new album, Something Else, covering earlier songs together with the Irish Chamber Orchestra, is scheduled to be released on 28 april 2017. The most recent album from the band- Roses-was released on 27 February 2012. The band has achieved one number-one album on the UK Albums Chart ( Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?), and two number one singles on the Modern Rock Tracks chart ("Zombie") and ("Salvation"). Their next studio album No Need to Argue gave the band the hit single "Zombie" and was their best-selling studio album. The Cranberries rose to international fame with their debut album Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?, which became a commercial success and was certified Platinum in Australia, 2× platinum in Britain and 5× platinum in the US. Since their formation, The Cranberries have released six studio albums, four EPs, and eighteen singles. Although widely associated with alternative rock, the band's sound incorporates post-punk and rock elements. The Cranberries are an Irish rock band formed in Limerick in 1989, originally under the name The Cranberry Saw Us.
