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 or have an expansive, musically diverse, approach to their music in a way that has been identified to be progressive, but using a more musically contemporary template.

Bands

Most notable musical groups described as post-progressive / new prog include:

• Anathema
• Anathema
• Battles
• Coheed and Cambria
• Dirty Projectors
• Karnivool
• Lightning Bolt
• Mew
• 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.
