Real Farmer’s second album ‘Two Wrongs Don’t Make A Right’ is out now on Strap Originals, Peter Doherty’s label, and it arrives with the kind of critical momentum that comes from a band that has been building something real across Europe for years. The Groningen, Netherlands-based four-piece recorded at Far Out Sound Studios in Rotterdam with Niek Van Den Driesschen, their third release from the same room, and the results are urgent, politically charged, and sonically sharp.
“Heart Out,” the album’s lead single and latest video, is a thrilling collision of 60s beat and proto-punk, with hollering vocals and swashbuckling guitars evoking the wasted, sweat-stained downtown New York of Richard Hell and Dead Boys. The video was filmed live by Roger Sargent, whose credits include The Libertines, at Margate’s iconic Dalby Cafe. The band frames the song’s energy directly: “We need to resist becoming bitter by what is happening out there. Love is the drive to do everything but also sets the intention that an act should have. Resistance needs love.”
The album is a 12-track statement that moves between DIY punk, angular art-rock, and Stereolab-esque textures, with previous singles “Run By Animals” and “Missing Link” already signaling its range. “Not all songs are punk songs, but everything is written in this spirit,” the band says. “With this album we hope listeners can also find a sense of empowerment and hope through our songs.” Press response has been strong, with praise from Under The Radar, CLASH, DIY, and a notably enthusiastic reaction from Anthony Fantano.
Real Farmer spent 2025 supporting Babyshambles, Protomartyr, and The Libertines, and played The Great Escape, Primavera a la Ciutat, and Pitchfork Paris. The band released the album week of their support slot for Peter Doherty at a sold-out 2,700-capacity L’Olympia in Paris, a moment that signals exactly how much their profile has grown. The UK headline run coming in June is their biggest yet, covering Brighton through Southampton across 11 dates.
