Alt Root Weekly Top Ten 09/17/2025
A healthy dose of jangle and twang kicks off the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday September 17, 2025 when The Nude Party dial in “Sweetheart of the Radio”, a track the band describes as ‘about a truck driver who is so lonely he falls in love with a country singer on the radio’. The tune is from The Nude Party upcoming (02-13-26) release, Look Who’s Back, and it joins a new single from J Isaih Evans & His Boss Tweed, “Honey Boy”. Rose’s Pawn Shop make a request with “Darken My Door” from their upcoming 2026 release, American Seams while Annika Chambers and Paul DesLauriers offer the title track to the recent release from the duo, the Eric Corne-produced Our Time to Ride from Chambers DesLauriers. The Lone Star state is home to West Texas Exiles who bring a “Bright Yellow Sun” to the chart as Eli Lev confides “My Wish Was You” and New Zealand Blues Rockers BB & The Bullets count “Seven Ways to Sin”. Tommy G & The Experts are on “Monkey Bars” with a new single as Jon Tyler Wiley & His Virginia Choir cover Nick Lowe, by way of Elvis Costello & The Attractions, with “What’s So Funny About Peace, Love, and Understanding”. Handsome Jack wraps up this week’s list shouting “Do It! To It!”, a cut from his upcoming January 2026 release, Barnburners! on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday September 17, 2025.
