Same T-Shirt as H&M available from GAP….. for men

September 15, 2024  |  2 Comments  |  by Axl  |  The Cranberries

The same Cranberries H&M T-Shirt for women is now available for men from the US fast fashion store GAP, online on gap.com and possibly instore (?)

Unlike the H&M shirt, this one has no copyright vertically written beside the band photo nor inside close to the tag (or simply not visible on their pics), but quite for sure this is an official tee… well (?)

Unfortunately gap.com based in the US doesn’t ship outside the country. So select one of their 21 international websites and check if the shirt is available there or instore… chances are low!

5 Cranberries songs released as “Sped-Up” versions

The Cranberries have announced on their socials (Facebook, TwitterX, Instagram) the release of a Sped-Up version of “Linger” on all streaming platforms. A simple search on these platforms with the words Cranberries + Sped Up…. and 4 more songs, all available now and not yet announced by the band, are revealed: Dreams, Zombie, Sunday, Ode To My Family.

For your information, many songs by many different artists already received the sped-up treatment on social media like TikTok these days, so like it or not (judging by all the negative comments everywhere) the band and the record company just followed the trend to remain in touch with the younger generations.

Cranberries Graphic T-Shirt by Sirens / Urban Planet

August 1, 2024  |  3 Comments  |  by Axl  |  The Cranberries

The Canadian clothing store Sirens/Urban Planet is selling a Cranberries t-shirt as well… unfortunately for Canadian residents only! It’s unclear whether you can buy it online only or in-store as well.

The Cranberries are part of the “Graphic Boyfriend T-Shirt” collection with the artwork/cover of “Zombie” and featuring among bands like Blondie, The Beatles, Metallica, Sex Pistols, Bon Jovi, The Rolling Stones… to name just a few. The collection is for women and pretty much in the same style of the H&M one. One-side print and notice the tag with the band logo!

Unlike H&M, their Cranberries tee has no copyright (just like most of their band shirts by the way), so we are not too sure this one is 100% official and under license. However, let’s note that the fashion brand is now quite big in Canada with 100+ shops across the country, hence we can’t imagine this t-shirt being a counterfeit one!

Color: White
Size: S to XL
Price: $16.00 (2 for $25)

Special thanks to cranfandy for the info and the last photo.
