Real Farmer is a post-punk four-piece from Groningen, Netherlands, made up of Jeroen Klootsema (vocals), Marrit Meinema (bass, vocals), Leon Harms (drums) and Jaap van der Velde (guitar). The band's name nods to frontman Klootsema's rural upbringing in the Groningen countryside. What began as friends writing punk songs together has grown into one of the more talked-about acts on the European post-punk circuit, with appearances at Primavera Sound, Pitchfork Paris and support slots for The Libertines and Babyshambles. Their second album Two Wrongs Don't Make A Right came out on 1 May 2026 via Peter Doherty's Strap Originals label.
Real Farmer released the live EP Live at The Dalby Cafe on 26 June 2026, recorded in one continuous take on 15 November 2025 in Margate.
