Educated Horses Punk Educated Horses Punk As a very longtime fan I see a much bigger significance in Rob s career with Educated Horses than this article implies Although he had stated in various interviews that his intention was to essentially strip down from the latex make up and video game performances this latest release is not only an abandonment of his past image it is completely devoid of his fusional mastery and trademark sensuality When I think of punk I think of Sex Pistols Dead Kennedys Black Flag or The Exploited These acts had passion and attitude which Horses has none Reviews have varied from the best thing he s ever done to the downright cruel and scathing which I will not repeat here It feels more like a demo than a major release which makes me wonder if the band shouldn t be performing under a formal name This strip down has also dramatically affected his visual work as well Foxy Foxy is an amateurish effort to appeal to pubescent 12 year old boys with the visual stimulation of an onion if you could see anything past the sun glare in the cameras Now if this is a taste of his visual work yet to come we ve got a whole new artist And in that case maybe he should deliberate changing his name Ray PS I understood that Sean had passed away about 6 years ago I just saw her entry in the pedia that she was working with a new project
