The Cranberries' Noel Hogan and Fergal Lawler celebrate No Need to Argue

In the interview with Kyle Meredith, The Cranberries' Noel Hogan and Fergal Lawler discuss the 25th-anniversary deluxe edition of their album "No Need to Argue," released in 1994. As founding members, they reflect on the album's creation, building on the success of their first LP, and experimenting with heavier sounds. They also delve into the enduring impact of songs like "Zombie" and the experience of working on music videos, including "Ridiculous Thoughts," which featured a young Elijah Wood.

Noel and Ferg reminisce about various highlights from that era, such as covering The Carpenters, appearing on soundtracks for films like "Clueless" and "Empire Records," and winning at the MTV Music Awards. They also share anecdotes about memorable moments from their tours, including a show that sparked a riot in Washington DC.

Furthermore, they reveal insights into the album's artwork, including the fate of the famous sofa featured on the cover, and discuss the Doors and Windows CD-ROM. They tease the release of a career-spanning documentary and the potential for a deluxe edition of their 1996 album "To the Faithful Departed."
