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:
- 30 Seconds to Mars
- Coheed and Cambria
- Dirty Projectors
- Lightning Bolt
- Mechanical Poet
- Mew
- Muse
- Mystery Jets
- Oceansize
- Pure Reason Revolution
- Radiohead
- The Mars Volta
- The Besnard Lakes
- Archive
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.
