Groningen, Netherlands-based four-piece Real Farmer have today (18 February) unveiled Heart Out, a new single that's a thrilling mix of 60s beat and proto punk. Hollering vocals and swashbuckling guitars conjure up a mental image of the wasted, sweatstained, downtown New York of the mid-70s: that of Richard Hell or Dead Boys. For the video they were filmed playing live by Roger Sargent (The Libertines, Vona Vella, Baxter Dury) at Margate's iconic greasy spoon Dalby Cafe.

Real Farmer's new album becomes their third release to be recorded at Far Out Sound Studios in Rotterdam by Niek Van Den Driesschen (Rats on Rafts, Iguana Death Cult), following debut album Compare What's There (2024) and EP RF II (2025). Previous singles on Two Wrongs Don't Make A Right include the Stereolab-eque Run By Animals video and Missing Link video - a thrashy, stop-start opener and a call to arms. "Not all songs are punk songs, but everything is written in this spirit," says Real Farmer. "There’s so much happening in the world, that if you’re even a little empathetic, you can’t help but feel overwhelmed and saddened [by it all]. Music remains such an important outlet as well as a meeting point for politics and worldviews. And with this album we hope listeners can also find a sense of empowerment and hope through our songs."

Real Farmer are fast making a name for themselves in alternative music scenes all over Europe thanks to their energetic blend of DIY punk, angular art-rock and gritty authenticity. In 2025 they supported the likes of Babyshambles, Protomartyr and The Libertines and played The Great Escape, Primavera a la Ciutat and Pitchfork Paris.

The band released their debut EP on Dutch indie Subroutine Records (Tramhaus, The Homesick) in 2019 and signed to Strap Originals in 2023. Their releases have caught adoration of their ever-growing fanbase and key champions in press and radio; including: BBC 6Music, Radio 1, Apple Music 1, So Young, DIY, Louder Than War, God Is In The TV, The Needle Drop and Under The Radar.

Real Farmer are: Jeroen Klootsema (vocals), Marrit Meinema (bass, vocals), Leon Harms (drums) and Peter van der Ploeg (guitar, backing vocals).
