Formed in New Zealand in 2002, the Checks were a blues-based hard rock act that would go on to tour and perform with such bands as <a href="spotify:artist:12Chz98pHFMPJEknJQMWvI">Muse</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2DaxqgrOhkeH0fpeiQq2f4">Oasis</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4KWTAlx2RvbpseOGMEmROg">R.E.M.</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4DToQR3aKrHQSSRzSz8Nzt">the Hives</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:5ypxebeHEIXjMtJb17uJlI">Jet</a>. The band played their first show, a birthday party, in 2003, and by 2004 had gained national attention, winning the Most Promising Band at the 2004 Bnet Radio Network Awards. They would eventually go on to sign a record deal, and in 2006 the band relocated to England to record their debut album. That album, produced by <a href="spotify:artist:7ctn5XsdcpoAPg5Ctggj0P">Ian Broudie</a> and entitled Hunting Whales, was released on October 1, 2007. ~ Chris True, Rovi
