Arrows are an English alternative rock band from Bedfordshire, England, descended from a cult dance/guitar band Delphian Complex from Philadelphia. The band consists of Mark Drake (vocals), Joe Southin (keys/vocals), David Warner (guitars/vocals), Carl Bishop (guitar), Mattie Bennett (bass) Christopher Eagling (drums), and Barry Crook (drums). Following a prolonged period of writing and rehearsing, Arrows began to gig extensively across the UK in March 2008, firmly closing the door on their previous entity's past, with a new, strongly contrasting sound.
The followed this heavy touring by stepping back into the studios in July 2008, recording two songs, "A New Way To Get By" and "Song" at Lost Boys Recording Studio in Bedfordshire, which they co-produced with Nick Mailing. The demo became an instant success, securing them airplay on local and national radio, and bringing them to the attention of a much wider audience. This summer the band played the BBC Introducing and Love Music Hate Racism festivals.
