New Prog is a term used to describe a number of recent indie bands who incorporate elements from and openly admire progressive rock. Bands described as "new prog" include Pure Reason Revolution , Mew , Muse, The Cooper Temple Clause, Oceansize, Amplifier, Secret Machines, Coheed and Cambria , Gazpacho, The Negatones, The Decemberists, (h-era) Marillion, and The Mars Volta. Radiohead is sometimes included.

The term in this sense is relatively new and other labels have been suggested or used .
