It's been an exciting journey for The Checks since emerging from Auckland's North Shore a few years ago. Their creative energies fueled equally by vintage rhythm & blues sounds, pop classicism and similarly-minded acts of the 21st century like the Black Keys and Kings Of Leon, The Checks have achieved the unthinkable for a gang of NZ schoolboys: they have transformed their enthusiasm for songwriting and wild performance into something resembling a career.

They've also been attacking their new material with the fervour usually reserved for first-timers and this crazed energy certainly leaps out in their second album, 'Alice By The Moon'.

Self-produced and recorded in Auckland's The Lab with Jol Mullholland, the songwriting has a more eclectic and varied sound than the rock n' roll swagger of their debut. From the Dandy Warhols-meets-Oasis chiming wall of noise that is new single 'You And Me', through garage stomp, reggae/rock hybrids and quirky strolling pop - there are many gems amongst the albums 13 songs.
