The Cranberries

The Cranberries were an Irish rock band formed in Limerick in 1989. The band was composed of lead vocalist/guitarist Dolores O'Riordan, guitarist Noel Hogan, bassist Mike Hogan (Noel's brother) and drummer Fergal Lawler; O'Riordan replaced founding member Niall Quinn in 1990. The band classified themselves as an alternative rock group, but their sound blended elements of indie rock, jangle pop, dream pop, folk rock, post-punk, and pop rock. The band, originally named The Cranberry Saw Us, was renamed after the addition of O'Riordan.
