However, you'll not only find these essential funk artists, but also wax from more obscure artists as well - Hank Carbo, Biggie Ratt, and Billy Jenkins, just to name a few.
Punk 45's
In the mid-70s a new style of rock emerged. Bands that scorned the excess of mainstream rock artists started to spring up. Their music was often political in nature, and their anti-establishment lyrics certainly pulled no punches. Though the genre stayed in the peripheral of mainstream consciousness for the most part, bands like The Clash, the Sex Pistols and the Ramones helped pioneer the genre. At Rare 45 RPM Records you'll find punk 45's from not only these punk rock icons, but dozens of other obscure bands like the Alleycats, the Jumpers, Poison Girls and The Missing Links.
