New prog (sometimes called "Nu prog" or "post-prog") is a term used to describe a number of recent alternative rock bands who incorporate elements from progressive rock.
Bands described as "New prog" include:
Key albums in the genre include:
- Coheed and Cambria: The Second Stage Turbine Blade, In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3, Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness, Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow
- Mew: And the Glass Handed Kites
- Muse: Origin of Symmetry, Absolution, Black Holes & Revelations
- Mystery Jets: Making Dens
- Oceansize: Effloresce, Everyone into Position, Frames
- Pure Reason Revolution: The Dark Third
The term in this sense is relatively new and other labels such as Post-prog have been suggested or used. The term has also been used for some earlier bands, like Radiohead. "New prog" has connections and overlap with the post-rock movement, but is distinct from the much earlier genre of neo-prog.
