Cracker, which includes ex-Camper Van Beethoven members singer-guitarist David Lowery and guitarist John Hickman, yielded three hits on the album - вЂњLow,вЂќ вЂњGet Off ThisвЂќ and вЂњEurotrash GirlвЂќ - and sold over 1 million copies of it. Joining the Cranberries on stage are Cracker, another band that recently issued an album flaunting artistic growth.ДЇor the Northern California band, вЂњGolden AgeвЂќ can be viewed as its sophomore album, considering its second, вЂњKerosene Hat,вЂќ was really a breakthrough album. The crunchier songs on вЂњTo the Faithful DepartedвЂќ and the softer material from the other two LPs should provide a nice balance at the bandвЂ™s concert on Friday. The true star of the band is Dolores OвЂ™Riordan, who yodels, whines, gasps and wails her way through the stormy material. 4 on the Billboard album chart, are quite aggressive. Plus, the Cranberries show theyвЂ™ve got some hard rock in their bones, as the songs on the new album, which debuted No. Where 1994вЂ™s вЂњNo Need to ArgueвЂќ spawned only one song, вЂњZombie,вЂќ that took a grave look at war, most of the songs on вЂњTo the Faithful DepartedвЂќ have a serious tone, addressing topics such as drugs, violence and war. This year the Irish band, which plays The Gorge on Friday, follow up their platinum smashes with вЂњTo the Faithful Departed,вЂќ attempting to prove their minds are on much more serious topics than love and innocence. The Cranberries formed in Limerick, Ireland, in 1989 and rose to international fame in the 1990s, selling more than 40 million records worldwide - with hits including Zombie, Linger and Dreams.After two hit albums, the Cranberries were struck with growing pains, mainly the one encountered while making the transition from youth into adulthood. Noel Mike Fergal To mark the first anniversary of DoloresвЂ™s passing The Cranberries will be releasing the first song from the new album, вЂAll Over NowвЂ™ on the 15th of January.ДЄ post shared by The Cranberries on at 8:36am PST We dedicate this album to our dear friend and bandmate Dolores. And to our fans, who have stood by us for almost thirty years thank you, without you, none of this would have been possible. We would like to take the chance to thank all our families and friends as well as DoloresвЂ™ family and friends, and all those work worked with the band over the years. There was also an overwhelming sense of finality knowing that this was the last time that we would be in the same studio together working on a Cranberries album. Knowing that we would never get to play these songs live made it even more difficult. We spoke with Dolores' family and they agreed. We felt that this is what she would want. We remembered how Dolores had been so energised by the prospect of making this record and getting back out on the road to play the songs live, and realised that the most meaningful thing to do was to finish the album we had started with her. As time passed, we began to think about how we might best honour our close friend and bandmate. After Dolores' devastating and unexpected passing in January 2018, we took some time out and put all plans on hold. By December 2017, Dolores had completed and recorded the vocals to final demo stage on the eleven songs which feature on this recording, and we had planned to go into the studio to complete the album in early 2018. During rehearsals, we discussed many times how great it would be to write and work on new material for a new albumвЂ¦ And the prospect of writing and working on new material for a new album was very exciting. A Message from the band about their new album 'In The End' In early 2017, the four of us got together to rehearse for the вЂSomething ElseвЂ™ Tour.
