Review

Making their intentions clear with the indescribably manic garage stomper "Pig Sweat," which kicks off this 1987 album, Pussy Galore proceeds to mash it up dumpster style with 19 minimal short players riddled with the best elements from the Stooges, the Cramps, and the band's own askew, Lower East Side world view. Immensely satisfying and generally disturbing, too, the band delivers a surprising range of moods in the midst of the monolithic beats, out-of-focus production, and pervasive punk snarl; the mix veers from the Velvets-like rockabilly thrash heard on "Biker Rock" and the hard, psychedelic slab of "Loser," to a handful of Sonic Youth and Fall knockoffs. With Jon Spencer spewing epileptic vocals all over the place, Neil Hagerty and Julie Cafritz doing their garage guitar best (or worst), and Bob Bert hurling his mess of trashcan drumming into the mix, Pussy Galore hits new heights of lo-fi fuzz minimalism on this crucial, yet often overlooked, entry into the late-'80s, proto-grunge free-for-all. ~ Stephen Cook, All Music Guide

Philippe Rushton,Thomas Fleming, Samuel T. Francis, and C. B. Liddell.

Prominent Conservative politicians who contributed to, or were interviewed by, Right Now! include Norman Tebbit, Ann Widdecombe, John Redwood, Teddy Taylor, Teresa Gorman and Bill Cash.

Political fallout

The magazine was singled out by then Foreign Secretary Robin Cook in 2000 in an attack on then Conservative Party leader William Hague's inability to contain "extremists" within the party. Cook called for the magazine to be shut down.

Andrew Hunter, a former Conservative MP who defected to Ian Paisley's Democratic Unionist Party, was removed from Iain Duncan Smith's campaign to lead the Conservative Party because of his patronage of Right Now!. Hunter withdrew his support for the magazine after it printed a series of allegedly homophobic advertisements for the Conservative Democratic Alliance, with which the magazine was closely linked.

Closure

The magazine ceased publication at the end of 2006. The Right Now! website states that readers may wish to instead read Derek Turner's new journal, Quarterly Review.
