The Cranberries shared a potent new video that captures an early live performance of their 1994 smash “Zombie.”
The clip was filmed at the Astoria 2 in London, England, in January 1994, seven months before “Zombie” was released as a single. Still, the song is fully formed and the performance offers a glimpse at the inherent power of the track as the crowd reacts to Dolores O’Riordan belting the song’s soon-to-be unmistakable hook.

The Cranberries released a surreal, animated video for “Wake Me When It’s Over,” the third track off their final album In the End. The clip features a woman running past several painted landscapes, bypassing a dead lion and elephant that disintegrate into pieces as she picks up speed. Slowly, she evolves into a deer, then a polar bear, and so on — before transforming back to herself at the end of the video.

The Cranberries unveiled the poignant title-track from their upcoming final album, In the End, out April 26th via BMG.
From the title to sonics and lyrics, “In the End” is a fitting album closer. The track is a simple acoustic ballad buoyed by a low rumble of drums and soft strings, while late singer Dolores O’Riordan softens her vocals to place the emphasis on her words: “Ain’t it strange?” she sings, “When everything you wanted/Was nothing like you wanted?/In the end.”

A woman seeks refuge in the wake of an abusive relationship in the new animated video for the Cranberries’ “All Over Now.”
Animator Daniel Britt directed the video, which follows a woman in a yellow rain jacket as she wanders through the English countryside. The clip deftly balances the jarring and the serene as a stately manor crumbles off a cliff one moment – an allusion to the violence at the heart of late singer Dolores O’Riordan’s lyrics – while the next, a seagull drifts gracefully through the rain.

It was hard to blame them, since much of what the Cranberries were doing last April and into May evoked old times. Once again, the members of the Irish alt-pop band were gathered in a studio with their longtime producer, Stephen Street.

When Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?, the Cranberries’ major-label debut, was released in March of 1993, “we were gutted,” says Noel Hogan, the band’s guitarist and co-songwriter.
The reason? “It came out and basically disappeared without a trace,” he recalls. “So we figured, ‘That’s it. We’re done now.’ We were doing empty clubs as an opener in the U.K. and it was pretty depressing. We really, really thought, it’s just a matter of time before we get that call [from Island Records] and they say,...

The Irish band recently reunited for their first tour in six years and singer Dolores O'Riordan admits they are desperate to record some fresh material. She said: “It would be nice to come up with a new record. I don't see why not. The ideas are always there, so hopefully something will come out of it."

The ‘Linger’ singer – who has been working on new material with guitarist Noel Hogan - added in an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper: “Noel has been sending me lots of music, and I've been continually writing. It's one of those things where we have to see what happens. There's no point in bringing out a crappy record.
