New prog (also known as nu prog or post-prog[1][2]) is a term used to describe a number of recent alternative and 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. The term has also been used for some earlier bands, like Radiohead.[3] New prog has connections and overlaps with the post-rock movement, whilst frequently diverging with the indie scene.
