New prog

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
* Anathema
* Battles
* Coheed and Cambria
* Dirty Projectors
* Karnivool
* Lightning Bolt
* Mystery Jets
* Oceansize
* Pure Reason Revolution
* Radiohead
* 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.<ref name="GuardianJourney"/> "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.
