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. They achieved international fame with their debut album, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? (1993), which produced the hit singles "Dreams" and "Linger". This success was continued with their second album, No Need to Argue (1994), whose single "Zombie" became a stadium anthem and the band's signature song. The band issued two more albums, To the Faithful Departed (1996) and Bury the Hatchet (1999), to similar success.
