New prog Stylistic origins Progressive rock, alternative rock, experimental rock, indie rock, post-rock, post-punk Cultural origins Late 1990s onward Typical instruments Guitar - Bass - Keyboards - Piano - Drums Mainstream popularity Late 1990s to present. 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]
Most notable bands described as new prog include:
- 30 Seconds to Mars[1]
- Anathema[2]
- Battles[3]
- Coheed and Cambria[4][5]
- Dirty Projectors[6][7]
- Karnivool[8]
- Lightning Bolt[9]
- Mew[10][11]
- Muse[12]
- Mystery Jets[11]
- Oceansize[13]
- Pure Reason Revolution[14]
- Radiohead[12]
- Riverside[15]
- The Fall of Troy[16]
- The Mars Volta[9]
- The Besnard Lakes[17]
In this sense, the term is relatively new. Other labels, including post-prog, have been suggested or used.[11][18] The term has also been used for some earlier bands, like Radiohead.[12] "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]
