The Cranberries published on YouTube a couple of days ago and on Instagram and TikTok today, a 30sec video from 1994 recording promo liners for “Zombie”

FUN!

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)

FOR COMPLETISTS ONLY as most of these performances have been in circulation for years already!

Message posted on The Cranberries socials (Facebook, TwitterX, Instagram).
And for the occasion, you have 30% off the Zombie collection during the next 4 days at the band’s official store.

Single was released on 19 September 1994.
Below an original advert published in the UK magazine “Select”

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!

User ScottishTeeVee shared on YouTube yesterday a rarely before seen video of The Cranberries performing “Just My Imagination” at the “TMF Awards” in Belgium in 1999.
As always with this user on each of his videos, too many tags pooring the screen everywhere, all the time… many thanks for sharing this gem anyway!

The public figure (as described on Facebook) Charlie Contigo who seems to be working for the radio station El Lobo 106.1 in Mexico, shared on Facebook and Instagram a couple of days ago for Dolores’ birthday, a rare photo of him with the band in Mexico in December 1994.
