New prog (or Nu prog, Post-progressive) is a term used to describe a number of recent alternative rock bands who incorporate elements from progressive rock.
Most notable bands described as new prog include:
- 30 Seconds to Mars
- Anathema
- Biffy Clyro
- Coheed and Cambria
- Lightning Bolt
- The Mars Volta
- Mew
- Muse
- Mystery Jets
- Oceansize
- Pure Reason Revolution
- Radiohead
- White Denim
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.
