Noel & Fergal interview in Peru, Discuss new upcoming albums
As reported by Dolores O'Riordan Spain and Cranberries World, during an interview in Peru promoting The Cranberries final tour date of the year, Noel and Fergal revealed details of the band's upcoming albums:
They announced a tentative release time for the the previously announced album of reworked songs with the Irish Chamber Orchestra, May 2017. (This, again, is tentative, it's best to lower your expectations and add about 3-6 months to these release dates). The big news is that along with reworked versions of some of the band's best songs, the album will also include 3 brand new songs!
The other big news is that they said they are writing songs for an all new album with all original songs! They hope to record it after a promotional tour for the acoustic album!
2017 looks bright for The Cranberries!

D.A.R.K. Screen Print from Pledge Music canceled completely
E-mail I received this morning:
"Hi,

Can't say I'm shocked by this one, but it's a shame as it sounded like a cool and unique item. Oh well, at least I know my signed LP is on it's way finally!

Off topic: Cranberryesque Recommends: "Modern Burdens" - Tracy Bonham
Okay guys, off topic; For fan's of 90's female rock music,which I'm sure there are more than a few reading this blog. Here's something that can hold you over while we wait for new Cranberries material.
Another one of my favorite artists is the amazing Tracy Bonham. Many in the US may remember her massive, Grammy nominated hit, Mother Mother, the song that replaced Salvation as #1 on the Modern Rock charts in 1996. It was also the last song by a female solo artist to hit #1 on that chart until Lorde's Royals just a few years ago... seventeen years later.

Well, Tracy is releasing a new album, re-recording and re-imagining her debut album, "The Burdens of Being Upright". She is working with some amazing 90's and recent indie female vocalists such as Angie Hart (from Frente, who many super Cranberries fans remember provided vocals for the haunting Mono Band song "Coyotes & Helicopters"!!), Kay Hanley (Letter's Cleo), and Tanya Donelly (Belly) to name a few.
Tracy has set up a Pledge Music page to fund this project that looks to be amazing. I highly recommend this to all Cranberries fans. And if you haven't heard the original album or any of Tracy's albums, I highly recommend them as well! See link: Modern Burdens - Pledge Music
PS: While I originally brought "The Burdens of Being Upright" for Mother Mother and The One, this is the song that officially made me a fan:

Small random update: "Free To Decide" music video finally available on The Cranberries official youtube vevo page
One strange mystery that has had fans wondering for a while was why the music video for "Free To Decide" wasn't included on the band's youtube vevo account. It was the only one missing (other than "Uncertain" of course). Today, out of nowhere, that has been rectified.
So...uh...any chance of finally getting "Uncertain" guys?

Off topic: President Elect Trump (something I wish I never had to type)
Alright guys, following up on my post from yesterday here.
I get a lot of page views from outside of the United States, and I feel the need to make a few things clear. Donald Trump does not represent all of our views. He got to where he is now by appealing to the lowest denominator of the American electorate. Racists have effectively taken over the country I love.
Words cannot express the hurt, sadness and embarrassment I feel this morning. I have always been a, "glass is half full" person, I'm sad to say that for the first time in a long time that glass is half empty.
I have absolutely nothing positive to say today. I began writing this post thinking I'd post a Cranberries song that encapsulates my feelings, but even my favorite band can't help.
Again, please don't group all of us together. Donald Trump and the people that elected him will never be representative of mine or many other's views here.
