There's a lot of famous artists today, but I'd love to discover new pop music that is oriented around a band instead of an individual. Bands like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Pink Floyd have all topped the pop charts. Glenn Miller's Orchestra topped the pop charts in 1940 with a fully instrumental song In the Mood.
I can think of Sammy Rae and Friends, but no others. What are your favorite modern pop bands? Especially ones with a focus on instrumentals. Edit: thanks for the recs!

You are looking for instrumentals I would recommend Melt and Couch. Lucius is amazing but they are less instrument focused and more harmony focused. (They are front by two women with amazing voices in matching outfits and wigs).

You like female vocal lead pop (that's more individual lead) check out Maisie Peters and Holly Humblestone. They are both individuals with backing bands

there's another Couch (their live shows always get mixed up on bandintown) that slots into the latter category who are amazing https://couchtheband.bandcamp.com/album/big-talk
