Stalwarts of the Groningen garage punk scene, Real Farmer are the latest signings to Peter Doherty's Strap Originals label.
As active members of the vibrant local music scene with their wonderfully infectious punk noise, Real Farmer's debut album Compare What's There finds guitarist/vocalist Peter van der Ploeg, bassist/vocalist Marrit Meinema, singer Jeroen Klootsema and drummer Leon Harms concocting fast-paced, driving songs with wiry riffs, propelling drums, and winding melodies. Each track stands on its own, both expressing a nostalgia for a different time and reflecting the time and place the songs were written in, showing the multifaceted personalities that make up Real Farmer.
Groningen is one of the youngest cities in Europe, thanks in part to a ‘do it yourself’ nonprofit attitude, of which Real Farmer have become an integral part. If you weren’t born when the MC5, the Stooges or the Pixies were kicking out the jams, make Real Farmer your new jam. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Compare What’s There was produced by Niek Van Den Driesschen and recorded at Far Out Sound Studios in Rotterdam.
