‘When you’re Gone’ was a featured single on The Cranberries album ‘To the Faithful Departed’, which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary.

‘Salvation’ is a fundraiser for Pieta House and is an album of covers of The Cranberries songs

‘To the Faithful Departed’ was released on April 30, 1996, which brought the Limerick rock heroes to even further international fame. The album came after the band’s initial two albums including their debut, ‘Everybody Else is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?’ and of course, the second album that captivated the entire world, far beyond Limerick, ‘No Need to Argue.’ 

Pillow Queens who have released the tribute single are a Dublin based band. Last September, Pillow Queens released their debut album ‘In Waiting’, which proved to be a major hit. The band have even made their breakthrough on US television, appearing alongside figures such as James Corden. Pillow Queens will be embarking on their tour this December 2021.
