They're supporting Porcupine Tree on their upcoming tour, at least in the UK.

I assume you might understand the difference...Wink

I don't like it that much really. I think they should come and visit PA and just realise that those bands they listed have already been classified and so on.

There is absolutely no disadvantage to having a lot of genres, it allows people to identify music they like and find similar artists much more easily.

That said I welcome the 'nu-prog' tag as I don't like those bands and it's a slander much like 'nu-metal' looool.

makes some sense... but like Mike said, I'm a bit skeptical about that indie/alternative relation.......

but why the hell are TMV listed there? "indie bands who incorporate elements from progressive rock"... TMV don't just have "elements" from prog, they are as prog as prog gets!

^ the list of bands in the wikipedia does not make much sense ... some of the bands are prog, some are not. I don't like this sort of generalisation ... it would be better to at least separate the "complex alternative rock" from the real prog.

I quite like that article, and the term 'New Prog' (I'm not so keen on 'Nu' instead of 'New', though).

When I first heard the music of Pure Reason Revolution I was searching in my own mind for a term that could be used to describe their music, which is not the same as 'traditional' Progressive or Neo Progressive Rock but is certainly not mainstream pop or pop-rock and has some elements of Progressive Rock. I thought to myself that 'New Prog' would be a good term, only to discover that it was already being used to describe Pure Reason Revolution, Muse, Coheed & Cambria and the like.

I can happily live with the term 'New Prog', but 'Nu Prog' just looks naff to me: sort of the antithesis of the supposed relative sophistication of the music, if you catch my drift.

^^I agree.

And some of those bands I don't consider prog at all (Coheed and CambriaDead being one of them)

I don't agree with this at all ... they make it seem like any new prog is automatically related to the indie/alternative scene.

Seems perfectly legit to me. Tey've grouped together most of the new stuff I don't like and given it a name. Now I've got something to bash.

Though not an actual genre, the descriptor makes sense.
The bands listed are modern progressive rock bands, and are not metal, and have nothing at all to do with the neo-prog sound.
