Alt Root Weekly Top Ten 12/10/2025
‘Tis the season to decorate, and Deer Tick are hauling seasonal stowaways out of the garage, making the front lawn on our chart with “Light Up Reindeer” in the top spot of the Top Ten for Wednesday December 10, 2025. Ricky Chilton comes bearing gifts with “I Got You a Fruitcake” while Ireland’s Some One’s Sons find “A Chance to Be Alive”. Troubadour Blue lessen troubled times by watching the “Snow in the Holler as The Shootouts brighten up the melody for the sad story of “Christmas Eve Without You” and The Jardani Crow Band sing out “Ye Oh”. The James Hunter Six are preparing for 2026 and the release of upcoming (01-16-26) Off the Fence, and land on this week’s chart with “Here and Now”. Falling into View make the list with “Things (That I Thought Might One Day Be Useful)” as Cordovas take to the air with help from Kamasi Washington’s saxophone in “Wings” from their upcoming (01-30-26) Back to Life album. Featuring band members from Norway and Sweden, Soul Zimon & His Kozmic Combinations close out the list with the mediative ramble of “Early One Morning” on the Top Ten for Wednesday December 10, 2025.
