You will hear something familiar about Noel Hogan's Mono Band, for the trademark, ringing guitars and fluid melodies bear the unmistakable imprint of his years with one of the world's most successful bands, The Cranberries.

But his new music sounds fresh and different, too, from the subtle
electronic touches and inventive programming to the wide and varied range of singers who give voice to his songs on the Mono Band's debut album.

Several of the new songs were written in conventional style on guitar. But Noel also began to write drum and rhythm tracks, building up songs in the studio. "That was a completely new way of working for me and I embraced it. I was experimenting in a way that opened up all kinds of new possibilities," he says.

After he had developed half a dozen tracks, he began to look around for singers. "I'm not a singer at all and I decided rather than just feature one voice as in the Cranberries, I'd use different voices.

Those whose voices impressed him would be sent a song or two to try out.

The Mono Band's debut album will be released in early 2005 and is certain both to delight long-standing Cranberries fans and to bring a new audience on board. Next up are live dates. "I've had so much fun making the record but I'm now putting together a bunch of people to tour it," Noel reveals. Among those playing with him will be bassist and younger
brother Mike Hogan, so that half of the Cranberries at least will be
reunited on stage. "Messing about in the studio's great, but what I've always got the biggest buzz from is playing live."
