The Institutes

The Institutes are an indie rock band from Coventry crafting rich, guitar-layered songs that sit between shoegaze atmosphere and melodic, driving indie rock. Their sound blends shimmering textures, punchy rhythms and emotive, thoughtful lyrics, creating tracks that feel both expansive and anthemic. With BBC Radio support, tastemaker playlists and festival slots across the UK and US, they’ve built a strong reputation for their powerful live shows. Following the release of their latest single “Trick the Light,” they’re gearing up for their second album in 2026 and continuing to push their distinctive, immersive sound forward.
