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[citation needed] or have an expansive, musically diverse, approach to their music, in a similar way to what has been identified to be progressive rock but using a more musically contemporary approach.
Kscope with it's slogan 'post progressive sounds' seems to be one of the more influential independent labels to appreciate & actively promote the development of this diverse (genre overlapping) musical movement.
Bands
Most notable musical groups described as post-progressive / new prog include:
- Anathema[1]
- Battles[2]
- Coheed and Cambria[3][4]
- Dirty Projectors[5][6]
- Karnivool[7]
- Lightning Bolt[8]
- Mew[9][10]
- Muse[11]
- Mystery Jets[10]
- Oceansize[12]
- Pure Reason Revolution[13]
- Radiohead[11]
- Riverside[14]
- The Fall of Troy[15]
- The Mars Volta[8]
- The Besnard Lakes[16]
In this sense, the term is relatively new. Other labels, including post-prog, have been suggested or used.[10][17] The term has also been used for some earlier bands, like Radiohead.[11] "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.[citation needed]
