Uncertain is the first EP by the Irish band the Cranberries.[1] The EP was released in the autumn of 1991,[1] with the band having previously released cassette EPs under the name The Cranberry Saw Us.[1] [2] Uncertain was released by Island under the Xeric Records name on both CD and 12" vinyl formats.[3] [4] Approximately 5,000 total copies of Uncertain were produced.[5] Guitarist Noel Hogan said of the album that Gilmore "cluttered the mixes with dance beats and industrial-style guitar", which resulted from a conflictual relationship between the group and Gilmore.[2] The EP did not chart.[1]
An unreleased music video was made for the main theme "Uncertain";[6] a brief part of the clip was included on their DVD compilation, . The unedited complete video clip appeared for the first time on YouTube on 14 April 2020, and shows a young Dolores O'Riordan, with her brother Brendan and his daughter Cora, recalling her days as a child in an Irish forest.[6]
After the release of 'Uncertain', The Cranberries appeared on the Irish television show "On The Waterfront" which was hosted by Robert Arkins and Felim Gormley from The Commitments.[7] They performed "Linger", which was recorded and was broadcast in 1992.[7]
