The Checks On Touring With Oasis












Put down your hessian bag and roman sandals – the Checks aren't full of blubberlust on debut album Hunting Whales, writes Vicki Anderson.

The Checks' frontman Ed Knowles is as creatively free as, well, Willie. He doesn't so much laugh at the end of the first single, What I Heard, off their long-awaited debut album Hunting Whales as cackle maniacally and he has good reason to be so happy.

They formed in 2003 and initially competed in barbershop competitions while still at school at Takapuna Grammar.

The Checks also toured Australia with Oasis and Knowles confirms that Liam is exactly as you'd expect him to be.

"Yeah, Oasis ... they're exactly like that – big eyebrows, loud accents – no s..., they are like that. They're not faking it. We walked in and Liam slapped me on the back, bang, bang, then he said: `Yeah, yeah, f...... dig your band'. He talks in statements."
