Release Notes:
The Checks are a New Zealand rock band formed in
2002 that are well known for their brand of
blues-driven and high-energy rock, similar to
contemporaries such as The Hives and fellow New
Zealanders The Datsuns. In 2006 they moved to
England to begin work on a debut LP, at this stage
titled Hunting Whales, expected to be released in
September 2007. The album is being produced by Ian
Broudie.
The band managed to generate considerable
international buzz for an unsigned New Zealand band,
much of it based on rave reviews from their live
shows, playing support slots for such bands as
R.E.M., after they were personally requested by
Michael Stipe after hearing their song Mercedes
Children on a compilation of New Zealand music.[1]
They also supported The Hives for two shows in
Tokyo, and more recently Oasis as they played in
Australia.
