First studio album in over a decade to be released via Cooking Vinyl for the world and Downtown Records in the U.S The Cranberries will return with Roses, their first studio album in over a decade, on the 13th February, 2012 via Cooking Vinyl for the world and Cooking Vinyl via Downtown Records in the U.S. on February 14th.\u00a0 The Cranberries, Dolores O\u2019Riordan, Noel Hogan, Mike Hogan, and Fergal Lawler, began their career in their native Limerick, Ireland in 1989 and sold more than thirty million albums worldwide in the nineteen nineties.\u00a0 Roses (COOKCD552) was produced by the band\u2019s longtime friend and collaborator Stephen Street (The Smiths, Blur) and harkens back to the freshness and originality of the band\u2019s first two albums, 1993\u2019s Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can\u2019t We? and the 1994 follow up, No Need To Argue.\u00a0 Prior to Roses, the band\u2019s most recent album was Wake Up And Smell The Coffee, which was released in 2001.<\/p>\n

In 2003, The Cranberries announced their break up, but they briefly reunited for an acoustic performance when Dolores O\u2019Riordan received an honoree degree at Trinity College in 2009.\u00a0 \u201cThe minute we started playing, it felt like we\u2019d never stopped,\u201d Dolores recalls.\u00a0 \u201cThere\u2019s something about playing with The Cranberries.\u00a0 It\u2019s like putting on a perfect pair of shoes.\u00a0 It just fits.\u201d\u00a0 In 2010, they commenced a reunion tour of 107 concerts that took the band all over Europe as well as to North and South America and Asia, culminating in the band\u2019s first ever shows in China in 2011.<\/p>\n

Dolores stated, \u201cHaving recorded two albums with various different musicians during our hiatus, I could clearly see that Noel and Mike have a unique way of creating chords and Ferg keeps it together in a subtle way.\u00a0 We had a blast in the studio, Stephen was in his zone and it came together rather quickly.\u00a0 There is a sense of rejuvenation in the group, a freshness.\u201d\u00a0 Guitarist Noel Hogan added, \u201cI always had the attitude that there would be another album.\u00a0 Over the last six years, Dolores and I were sending each other ideas on and off.\u201d\u00a0 During the reunion tour, the band began working on new music during sound-checks.\u00a0 \u201cThe icing on the cake was to work with Stephen Street again who helped us re-discover our sound.\u201d\u00a0
The songs on Roses come from a band with a renewed hunger and in every corner you\u2019ll find the extraordinary sound of Dolores O\u2019Riordan\u2019s voice, the pivotal instrument which transformed the band from a group of young Irish hopefuls at the edge of the 80s into an MTV sensation and worldwide super group within just a few short years.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

The Cranberries debut album Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can\u2019t We? featured the massive singles \u201cLinger\u201d and \u201cDreams\u201d and hit #1 in Britain.\u00a0\u00a0 The follow-up, No Need To Argue cemented the group\u2019s popularity via such popular tracks as \u201cZombie,\u201d \u201cRidiculous Thoughts,\u201d and \u201cOde To My Family,\u201d ultimately being certified 7x Platinum in the U.S. and 5x Platinum in Europe (hitting #1 in Germany, Austria, and Australia, and #2 in the U.K.).\u00a0 The Cranberries had four top 20 Billboard albums, 8 hit singles, and worldwide sales of over 30 million records.\u00a0
