Arrows
Signed with A&M Records Canada in April 1984.
Of the debut album Stand Back, J.P. Guilbert, A&M Canada's Director of Promotion, told RPM, "We don't hold listening sessions on just any album. We have them on the release that deserve the attention. We think we have a great piece of product with The Arrows. The album speaks for itself. We have session when we know the music is there. With The Arrows, we think we have a hit...You have to make people aware of good product. Listening sessions show our commitment and gives people a chance to share in the excitement."
The album was recorded between the summer of 1983 and January 1984.
"Meet Me in the Middle" won a PRO Award in Canada (Performing Rights Organization of Canada).
The Arrows were Juno Award nominees in 1984 as the Most Promising New Group, Best Album Graphics (Dean Motter) and Producer Of the Year (David Tyson).
The second album The Lines Are Open outsold the debut album in just three weeks.
