The Cranberries

The Cranberries were an Irish rock band formed in 1989 and disbanded in 2019; their music blended alternative rock with folk-tinged melodies and shimmering guitar textures, anchored by Dolores O'Riordan's distinctive, emotive vocal delivery. Their songs often mixed intimate personal themes with broader social and political subject matter, and their sound was closely associated with the 1990s alternative rock scene.
