  • The Arrows were a three-piece English American band based in London, England. The group, which formed in 1974 and disbanded in 1977, included singer/bassist Alan Merrill, guitarist Jake Hooker and drummer Paul Varley. They had hit singles in 1974 and 1975 with "Touch Too Much," "My Last Night With You" and "I Love Rock 'n' Roll," all produced by Mickie Most on RAK Records. "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" was later covered by Joan Jett. The Arrows had two 14-week television series in 1976 and 1977 on Granada Television, produced by Muriel Young. They are the only band to have two weekly TV series and no records released during the run of either series. Each series consisted of 14 shows, 30 minutes in length. There were 28 shows broadcast in total. Their final single "Once Upon A Time" was released two months before the first show of their first series in 1976. The first manager of The Arrows was Peter Meaden, who had also managed The Who in the early 1960s. He came up with the band's name, which originates from The Who's logo, with the arrow pointing up.
  • The Arrows war eine britische Pop-Band der 70er Jahre. Das Trio wurde 1973 von Mickie Most entdeckt, der sie fortan produzierte und versuchte, mit ihnen eine für sein Label RAK Records passende Teenager-Band zu formen. Er schrieb ihnen einige Titel auf den Leib und hatte 1974 mit der Single Touch Too Much auch gleich Erfolg. 1975 erschien der von Alan Merrill und Jake Hooker selbstgeschriebene Song I Love Rock'N'Roll, der allerdings 1982 in einer Version von Joan Jett and the Blackhearts deutlich erfolgreicher werden sollte. Eine spätere Coverversion des Titels von Britney Spears (2002) war ebenfalls wieder erfolgreich. 1976 und 1977 drehten die Arrows zwei wöchentliche Fernsehserien, zudem wurde ein Buch über sie veröffentlicht. Trotzdem gelang es ihnen nie, einen Nummer-Eins-Titel zu landen. 1976 erschien ihre letzte Aufnahme.
