The Cranberries are an Irish rock band formed in Limerick in 1989, originally under the name The Cranberry Saw Us. Although widely associated with alternative rock, the band's sound incorporates post-punk and rock elements. Since their formation, The Cranberries have released six studio albums, four EPs, and eighteen singles.
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. Their next studio album No Need to Argue gave the band the hit single "Zombie" and was their best-selling studio album. 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"). The most recent album from the band—Roses—was released on 27 February 2012. A new album, Something Else, covering earlier songs together with the Irish Chamber Orchestra, is scheduled to be released on 28 april 2017.
The group covered "(They Long to Be) Close to You" on the 1994 tribute album, If I Were a Carpenter.
