'Alice by the Moon' is the Checks second album,released 2009. The Checks songwriting has taken on a more eclectic and varied sound than the rock and roll swagger of debut album 'Hunting Whales'.

There are smooth grooves and falsetto vocals aplenty ("Back of the Restaurant" and "Ballroom Baby"),  the garage stomp of "Get Off the Stage Man", the reggae / rock hybrid that NZ crowds have grown to love -- "Bagherra", and the quirky strolling pop of "Till the Dance is Over", and many other gems amongst the 13 songs on 'Alice by the Moon'.
