The Arrows Stand Back

2011, THE ARROWS were an AOR band formed in 1981 in Toronto, Canada. Their first release was an EP called 'Misunderstood'. After a couple of line-up changes, singer Dean McTaggart recruited guitar player Doug McAskill (Deja Vu, The Stampeders, Moxy), bassist Peter Bleakney and drummer Gary Craig, and signed a deal with A&M Records. Their debut album 'Stand Back' was produced and co-written by David Tyson (who co-wrote Alannah Myles' #1 hit 'Black Velvet') and who also took over the keyboards on this record. The song 'Meet Me In The Middle' became a hit single in 1984 and charted in various countries world-wide. After a couple of more line-up changes and one more album release, THE ARROWS split up in 1986. Dean McTaggart later on worked as song-writer and producer for Tina Arena and Amanda Marshall, and released three solo albums. Remastered re-issue.
