Alt Root Weekly Top Ten 10/29/2025

Picture
Just in case sweaters, thicker socks, heavy jackets, and turning the needle on the temperature dial from blue to red weren’t enough, Rose’s Pawn Shop offer a last-minute reminder that “The Summer’s Over”. The track is from the SoCal Cosmic Country’s bands upcoming (02-27-26) album, American Seams, and lands in the #1 spot on the Top Ten for Wednesday October 29, 2025. The James Hunter Six Band are joined by Van Morrison as the pair joyously shout “Ain’t That a Trip” on a cut from the upcoming (01-06-26) release, Off the Fence. The Nude Party ready the upcoming (02-13-26) Look Who’s Back yet they still pine for “Carolyn” in a new single while Steep Canyon Rangers offer advice and a DIY guide to life with their new single, “Circling the Drain”. An infectious groove cruises through the new single from The Frankin Cassettes, “Blue Collar”, while New Orleans-based Sabine McCalla plays the “Two of Hearts”, a cut from her upcoming (11-07-25) release, Don’t Call Me Baby. Rocky Lane plays the sweet sound of 1970’s Country with “Don’t Bother with the Crows”, Brooklyn trio Damn Tall Buildings are booking a flight on “Turkish Airlines”, and Robert Jon & The Wrecks are “Back to the Beginning” on a new powerhouse single. Ladybird help exit the Top Ten for Wednesday October 29, 2025 with a Rock’n’Roll shout out to “Clementine”, the title track to the Milwaukee band’s recent release.
