Reality Check was an Alternative Rock band that formed in the mid-1990s with the support of Michael Tait of dc Talk. Originally consisting of three members, Chris Blaney, Nathan Barlowe, and Rod Shuler, the band grew to eight members before disbanding in 1998. Two members of Reality Check, Nathan Barlowe and Jonny MacIntosh, went on to help form Luna Halo.

After releasing an independent album called Soulfood, Reality Check signed a deal with Star Song Communications, and released a self-titled album on June 3, 1997. The next year, Reality Check disbanded for unknown reasons.

Reality Check's sound could be described as a mix of PFR and dc Talk.

Soulfood was the group's first album released under the name Reality Check. Soulfood relied heavily on samples for the backing tracks, including beats from artists such as the Beastie Boys and House of Pain. This album featured a different sound than their later work, such as their self-titled album, and could best be defined as late 1980s hip-hop
