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]
- Doves[2]
- Mew[3]
- Muse[4]
- Mystery Jets[5]
- Oceansize[6]
- Pure Reason Revolution[7]
Key albums in the genre include:
- Coheed and Cambria: The Second Stage Turbine Blade, In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3, Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness, Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow
- The Mars Volta: De-Loused in the Comatorium, Frances the Mute, Amputechture, The Bedlam in Goliath
- Mew: And the Glass Handed Kites
- Muse: Origin of Symmetry, Absolution, Black Holes & Revelations
- Mystery Jets: Making Dens
- Oceansize: Effloresce, Everyone into Position, Frames
- Pure Reason Revolution: The Dark Third
The term in this sense is relatively new and other labels such as Post-prog have been suggested or used.[5][8] The term has also been used for some earlier bands, like Radiohead.[4] "New prog" has connections and overlap with the post-rock movement, but is distinct from the much earlier genre of neo-prog.
