Obscure bands


Does anyone know a band called City Boy? (70's/80's)Very obscure and very original. It's beyond Me how such great talent goes so unnoticed! Also please chime in on other obscure talented musicians.

I love City Boy! I have all of their albums on vinyl. Never heard them even mentioned before on any forum. GREAT band!

Several other fantastic obscure bands from that era:

Trooper
Prism
China Crisis

One of my favorite all time albums is "Red Tape" from Atlanta Rhythm Section.  They weren't that obscure, but this albums ROCKS!!!


China Crisis was a favorite of mine back in the day,but I can't recall a thing about 'em right now!  Senior syndrome, I guess.


Some of The Feelies spin-offs, like The Trypes and Yung Wu come to mind first.  Both would IMO qualify for this thread as TRULY  obscure bands that never get mentioned anywhere but produced terrific music.
My favorite somewhat obscure band has to be the late great Asylum Street Spankers. Not sure how obscure they are but certainly worth checking out if you don't know them.
