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.
