New prog (also known as nu prog, post-prog or post-progressive) is a term used to describe a number of recent alternative rock/experimental bands who incorporate elements from progressive rock.
Kscope with it's slogan 'post progressive sounds' seems to be one of the more influential independent labels to appreciate & actively promote the development of this diverse (genre overlapping) musical movement.
Bands
Most notable musical groups described as post-progressive / new prog include:
- Anathema
- Battles
- Coheed and Cambria
- Dirty Projectors
- Karnivool
- Lightning Bolt
- Mew
- Muse
- Mystery Jets
- Oceansize
- Pure Reason Revolution
- Radiohead
- Riverside
- The Fall of Troy
- The Mars Volta
- The Besnard Lakes
In this sense, the term is relatively new. Other labels, including post-prog, have been suggested or used. The term has also been used for some earlier bands, like Radiohead. "New prog" has connections and overlaps with the post-rock movement, whilst frequently diverging with the indie scene. But it is distinct from the much earlier genre of neo-prog.
