Dolores O'Riordan has been in the papers for less than savoury reasons of late, but it seems that the former Cranberries singer is getting back on track musically, at least.

The Limerick woman has teamed up with former Smiths bassist Andy Rourke in a new band called D.A.R.K., and they are releasing a new album, 'Science Agrees', on May 27th.

DJ Olé Koretsky completes the trio, which formed when he and Rourke were working on a remix/production project called Jetlag. O'Riordan later came on board and they met in Ontario, Canada to record the album as D.A.R.K..

The good news for Irish fans is that you'll get a chance to hear those songs played live - as they're embarking on a short 5-date tour, including a date at Dolan's, Limerick on May 13th and Whelan's, Dublin on May 15th.

You can hear their first single, 'Curvy' - which both O'Riordan and Rourke sing on - below:
