I’ve never been shy about saying that The Cranberries are my favorite band of all time. I own every album, single, special bonus edition, and bootleg CD that I could get my hands on. So it should be no surprise that I’m excited by the news that Noel Hogan recently formed a new band called Mono Band.

Today I downloaded the first single from Mono Band called “Waves” from the SXSW festival site. If the the rest of the album is anything like the single, I think I’ll enjoy the new album immensely.
