The Arrows were an English rock band based in London, England. The group, which formed in 1974 and disbanded in 1977, included 3 members: American singer/bassist Alan Merrill, American guitarist Jake Hooker and English drummer Paul Varley (who had replaced Clive Williams relatively early in the band's history). They had a charting hit singles in 1974 and 1975 with "Touch Too Much" and "My Last Night with You", produced by Mickie Most on RAK Records. They recorded the original version of Merrill's song "I Love Rock 'n' Roll", later covered by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts.
