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:
- Coheed and Cambria[1][2]
- Doves[3]
- Mew[4]
- Muse[5]
- Mystery Jets[6]
- Oceansize[7]
- Pure Reason Revolution[8]
The term in this sense is relatively new and other labels such as Post-prog have been suggested or used.[6][9] The term has also been used for some earlier bands, like Radiohead.[5] "New prog" has connections and overlap with the post-rock movement, but is distinct from the much earlier genre of neo-prog.
