July 24, 2025 | Comments Off on Unseen angles from the “Ode To My Family” video shoot | by Axl | The Cranberries
Still celebrating NNTA 30th Anniversary, and just like “Zombie” a couple of days ago, The Cranberries shared on Instagram 1 minute of unseen footage from the “Ode To My Family” music video shoot. Another great rarity!
Still celebrating NNTA 30th Anniversary, The Cranberries shared on Instagram about 1 minute of unseen footage from the “Zombie” music video shoot. Great rarity!
The Instagram video was also shared on Facebook as a poor clone simply passing the Instagram link which seems to be their new way of posting stuff now… and it’s becoming a total shame! No more real posts on their website for so long, and soon no more real posts on their socials… just a quick made Instagram Stories à la TikTok and that’s it. For Fuck’s Sake!!!

More details published by Universal Music Japan here regarding the SHM-2CD to be released on 15 August 2025 that you can pre-order here (as already mentioned in a previous news).
EDIT: Tower Records also delivers worldwide.
Don’t pay attention to the cover as it is probably a mistake, and there likely to be an OBI as well. So the picture on UMJ is probably just for illustration purposes and should not reflect the real product.
Thanks to Stéphane for the link!

Posted a few days ago on the Dolores O’Riordan YouTube account, 12 tracks live in Basel in Switzerland on 15 November 2007. The show was broadcast on TV back then as you probably know and these audio tracks could be taken from the TV recording judging by the sound quality (?)
Anyway it’s now officially available without explanations for now. If someone knows why, please tell us. Just notice the supposed Dolores artwork probably made by shitty AI (like every AI pics for now) and which does not look like Dolores at all… not even close!
Special thanks to Lluis for the info!
EDIT:
Also available on Apple Music
The NNTA 30th Anniversary celebrations continue with “Zombie (Iain Cook Remix)” out today, both audio & video. The music video crafted from original film scans and never-before seen footage from the 1994 shoot premiered on YouTube just a couple of hours ago!

June 26, 2025 | Comments Off on The Berries Of Cran and their new zzzingle | by Axl | The Cranberries
Big news today, the wait is over!
The Cranberries have announced on their website and socials the 30th anniversary of the album “No Need To Argue” …out of the blue and something like 8 months late, but hey come on, this is our Crans, we know ’em, 8 months late is not too bad!
To celebrate, an expanded 3LP edition will be released on 27 June, next week, via Island/UMe. Watch the unboxing on YouTube. Already available for pre-order, the edition includes:
- Freshly remastered audio by original producer Stephen Street
- 2 new remixes by CHVRCHES’ Iain Cook
- Never-released live recordings from Woodstock ’94
- Unearthed “Zombie” demo
- The complete MTV Unplugged performance
Additionally a 2 LP Deluxe Edition, 2 CD Deluxe Edition, Single CD, Single LP and Digital Deluxe will be released on 15 August 2025 and available for pre-order on 27 June.
There is also new merch available on the official website.
“WE MISS AND WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU DOLORES!” … Can you spot?
Simply brilliant and a really classy thing to do. Thank you for this!
The Cranberries shared on Instagram an animated version of the cover with the famous sofa alone used for the promo cds in 1994 (Zombie & NNTA).
The 11 sec. teaser also includes the “Zombie” audio and comes with a link to sign-up to the official newsletter… and with sofa emoticons around!
Sofas everywhere these last couple of days!
Something’s coming…
The Cranberries shared on their Instagram Story only (meaning available for 24 hours) a photo of the contract (edit: a dispatch note, sorry for the mistake) when “Alf Garnett Suite” was hired for a week in July 1995.
If you have no idea what “Alf Garnett Suite” is/means, it is in fact the official name of the sofa appearing on a few photo sessions with the band. The couch is mainly known on the album covers of EEIDI and NNTA… but not exclusively. It was hired quite a few times for The Cranberries (at least 3 or 4 times) and was also used by the band Supergrass in their video for “Alright” as well as a metal band who decided to burn it in a music video. Fuckers! So unfortunately this piece of The Cranberries History no longer exists… TRAGIC!!
Possibly appearing for the first time on the British television sitcom “Till Death Us Do Part” aired on BBC1 from 1965 to 1975 where Alfred Edward Garnett is the main character (now you know where the name comes from), maybe this sofa and armchairs suite was not unique and a few copies made in the good old days could still exist and be around somewhere; wouldn’t it be nice! (as another famous band said)
