Backstory:
Born out of the multicultural city of Melbourne, Australia, the band “Well-Off Format” came together through a shared passion for music and a desire to disrupt the industry with their unique sound. The four members – lead vocalist Alex Smithe, guitarist Leo Davis, bassist Chris Andrews, and drummer Riley Edwards – all come from diverse musical backgrounds and were introduced to each other at a local recording studio. Recognizing the potential for a distinct blend of their musical styles, they quickly formed the band. After countless jam sessions and a strong bond, the band decided on the name “Well-Off Format” as a tribute to their comfortable lifestyle and non-conventional music structure.
Genre:
Well-Off Format plays Alternative-Indie Rock with a hint of Electronic Pop.

“Unorthodox Sunrise”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse)
[D] Waking up to an [G] unorthodox sunrise,
[A] Painted skies that [D] tell no lies.
[D] Coffee brewing on the [G] stove,
[A] We’re living life in [D] our own groove.
[Chorus]
[G] Unorthodox Sunrise, [D] our beacon of hope,
[A] Reminds us to take the [D] steep slope.
[G] Unorthodox Sunrise, [D] you’re our new start,
[A] A rhythm that beats in [D] each heart.
(Verse)
[D] The city hums with [G] its own beat,
[A] Every corner filled with [D] unique street.
[D] We dance to our own [G] tune,
[A] Underneath our own [D] peculiar moon.
[Chorus]
[G] Unorthodox Sunrise, [D] our beacon of hope,
[A] Reminds us to take the [D] steep slope.
[G] Unorthodox Sunrise, [D] you’re our new start,
[A] A rhythm that beats in [D] each heart.

Jamie’s testimonial: “Well-Off Format is more than just a band to me. Their music paints a picture of our everyday life, it’s like a reflection of who we are – unrefined, unfiltered, and unapologetic.
