The Cranberries are an Irish alternative rock band that rose to mainstream popularity in the 1990s. Combining the melodic jangle of post-Smiths indie-guitar pop with the lilting, trance-inducing sonic textures of late-'80s dream pop and adding a slight Celtic tint, The Cranberries became one of the more successful groups to emerge from the pre-Brit-pop U.K. indie scene of the early '90s. The band has not officially disbanded, but they have been on hiatus since 2003.
