The Arrows

The Arrows是一支存在时间并不长的摇滚乐队，成立于1974年，并于1977年解散，其中包括美国歌手/贝斯手Alan Merrill，美国吉他手Jake Hooker和英国鼓手Paul Varley。1975年凭借《I Love Rock N Roll》唱到街知巷闻，无数歌手曾经翻唱，包括猫王Elvis Presley、Britney Spears以及邓丽君等。 The Arrows were a mixed group of American and British musicians that made their biggest impact in Britain during the mid-'70s. The band worked with producer Phil Coulter on their one and only album, 1976's First Hit, which didn't really catch on in America but gave them a modicum of success in Europe. They also had several singles produced by Mickie Most during this era, the most important being "I Love Rock 'N Roll," which would go on to be a smash hit for Joan Jett a few years later. The band was made up of bassist/vocalist Alan Merrill, guitarist Jake Hooker, and drummer Paul Varley. The three also scored a television deal, leading to a regular series that played from 1976 to 1977. The group broke up in 1978, leading Merrill to pursue a solo career and record with artists as varied as Meat Loaf and Rick Derringer.
