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