We present a method for calculating the spectrum of extended solids within reduced density matrix functional theory. An application of this method to the strongly correlated transition metal oxide series demonstrates that (i) an insulating state is found in the absence of magnetic order and, in addition, (ii) the interplay between the change transfer and Mott-Hubbard correlation is correctly described. In this respect we find that while NiO has a strong charge transfer character to the electronic gap, with substantial hybridization between $t_{2g}$ and oxygen-$p$ states in the lower Hubbard band, for MnO this is almost entirely absent. As a validation of our method we also calculate the spectra for a variety of weakly correlated materials, finding good agreement with experiment and other techniques.
