Stafford unsigned band Naked Sunday preparing album

It is also currently the working title of the debut album for Stafford rockers Naked Sunday - and they promise it is their "heaviest material yet".

The four-piece, made up of husband and wife duo Martin and Laura Stanyer, Alex Williams and Liam Collins, have been in their current form for around 18 months. Naked Sunday originated in 2010, and have morphed into what frontman Martin describes as their "nice" form along the way.

Martin provides guitar and vocals, Laura the bass, Williams leads on guitar and Collins bangs the drums.

"It started off as something fun to do," Martin tells us. "Then I took up guitar lessons again so that I could end up teaching and Alex was my guitar teacher.

"I passed my exams to teach but we just got on and continued playing together. We've known Liam since his days in the band The Soap Girls so we asked him to join."

The dynamic between himself and Laura is slightly different of course, similar to the great rock couples of recent times like Jack and Meg White in The White Stripes and Billy Lunn and Charlotte Cooper of The Subways.

"After being together a couple of years, being in a band was just something we wanted to do," Martin continues. "It's nice to do but it's never easy being a couple in a band. We can't be too affectionate and you have to keep business separate from private life.

"Band time is band time."

They've had a busy 2019. First of all came the release of their EP Unbreakable, before they started to book up the live show diary.

"The reaction to the EP has been really good - we sold a lot of physical copies at our shows," Martin adds. "People have been singing along to the title track in particular. We've seen a lot of people sharing it online and it obviously means a lot to a lot of people.

"We wanted to test the water to see what people would like to hear from us. People seem to like us being heavier than before."

And with the album in their minds, they returned to the studio to record their next single Lilith - which is due out on July 21. It sounds pretty intriguing. Martin teased it to us as a cross between Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd.

"We recorded Lilith as a stop-gap," Martin says. "We're probably looking at a 2020 release for the album so we wanted something else to sell to people at our shows who still like to own physical CDs like I do."

Martin and the gang also recognise the digital market is so important for rising bands in getting their material out there. So for those that love to do things digitally it will also be available to stream via the band's Soundcloud page.

"We've been writing a lot together recently. We've all been writing the songs so it gives us something a little different each time with different ideas.

"For example Liam also plays the piano. So it's something else to experiment with.

"If we aim for 2020, it gives us something to play with and tackle next year to really give fans something to enjoy. We can record it ourselves as we have all the equipment, and I've just learned this past week that Alex is also a master of mixing. He kept that quiet, and that's great news for our budget too."

And on top of that, they are due to team up with former Unsigned column alumni Nick J Townsend to be the latest local act to be the subject of one of his award-winning music videos.

As mentioned, the live show diary has been pretty hectic alongside their busy schedule in the studio.

Earlier this year, they beat more than 150 bands in an online competition to win a slot at the charity-based Teddy Rocks festival in Dorset between May 3 and 5.

It was "nerve wracking" for the band, but they loved sharing the bill with the likes of The Zutons, The Darkness, Toploader, Fatherson, The Lounge Kittens, and Cannock rockers Wolf Jaw - another previous act in this column.

"It's quite daunting playing further afield," he adds. "We watched The Darkness on the Saturday night and then on the Sunday morning it was our turn. It was a bit crazy, but a really lovely festival, really well organised."

They played Woodhamstock in the Staffordshire village of Naughton on the weekend, and will also be at Yewstock at the Yew Tree Inn in Cauldon from July 19 to 21 to coincide with the release of Lilith.

"We were supposed to play there a couple of years ago but I lost my voice," Martin adds. "So we're going back to say sorry to the organiser David and make it up to him.

"It's a great family festival, probably the nicest we've played. There's camping available too."

They're also set to appear at Giffest at Wolverhampton's Giffard Arms on the August bank holiday weekend, and before that comes a rare hometown show to enjoy at The Dog House on August 3.

"That one's to say thanks for all the help they gave us pushing for votes for the Tommy Rocks festival bid," he adds. "And Giffest is to say thanks to those guys too for helping us ever since the beginning.

"It will be quite nice to play our hometown. I can't even remember the last time we did.

"It will be nice to play a gig where we can all drink and enjoy the show and not worry about driving afterwards!"
