 The Checks

Artist Overview

Their Led Zep-on-the-North Shore brand of retro R'n'B saw Aucklanders The Checks generate international hype and an invitation to join NME's 2005 New Music tour of England, just two years after forming. The following year, the band moved to London to made its debut album Hunting Whales, which spent four weeks in the Kiwi charts, while single 'What You Heart' debuted at number 16 in the UK indie charts. It led to high profile support gigs with Oasis and Muse and a second album, Alice By The Moon in 2009.
