Real Farmer kick Off A New Era With Blistering Single ‘Missing Link’
The Dutch punks unveil the first track from upcoming album Two Wrongs Don’t Make A Right as their UK run with Babyshambles gets underway.
Dutch punks Real Farmer have shared their new single ‘Missing Link’ through Strap Originals. The track is the first glimpse of the band’s next album Two Wrongs Don’t Make A Right, which is planned for release in spring 2026. ‘Missing Link’ arrives after the group’s EP RF II landed earlier this year and marks the beginning of their biggest run of UK shows so far. The band took the stage in Coventry on 13 November for the first of three support slots with Babyshambles, with Norwich and Brixton still to come.
The new single pushes their sound forward. The trademark punch of the drums and the scrappy punk energy are still present, but there is a looser swagger to the guitars and a shift in the vocal dynamic, with Jeroen’s lead delivery sharing more space with bassist Marrit’s hypnotic backing lines. It feels like a band leaning confidently into new ideas.
The video for Missing Link was filmed in Margate with director and photographer Roger Sargent, best known for his work with The Libertines. After wrapping the shoot, Real Farmer played a show at Dalby cafe, the venue that once went viral after Peter Doherty ordered an enormous fry up.
‘Missing Link’ was produced by Niek Van Den Driesschen and recorded at Far Out Sound Studios in Rotterdam. The track was mastered by Melbourne based Mikey Young, whose credits include Amyl and the Sniffers, Preoccupations and The Chats.
It caps off a landmark year for Real Farmer. They have appeared at festivals including Primavera Sound, The Great Escape, Eurosonic and The Libertines’ Gunnersbury Park event, while also completing their first UK headline tour and a busy schedule across Europe.
