Post-Prog Post-Prog is a musical genre that derives primarily from alternative rock. Post-Prog generally features more intricate and technical instrumentation and a wider range of influences than standard alternative rock. Common influences include Post-Hardcore Indie Rock. The primary pioneers of the genre include The Mars Volta, Coheed and Cambria and The Fall of Troy. All of them brought a different style to the table but were essential in influencing the wave of bands to come.

OTHERS: Eh, I wouldn't say that's quite it, since there are no mellotrons or hammond organs (at least not frequently). I like to think of it as modern rock (normally alt-rock, sometimes post-hardcore or indie) with looser song structures and more intricacy. Unlike traditional prog, it focuses on shorter, more complex tracks as opposed to long-winded epics and instrumentals.

Dredg - Catch Without Arms The Dear Hunter - Act I Fair to Midland - Fables from a Mayfly Fall Of Troy - Phantom on the Horizon Reign of Kindo - Rhythm, Chord & Melody Dead Letter Circus - This is the Warning

In terms of definition, I feel it's a lot closer to alt-rock than prog, but with more intricate instrumentals and a wider range of influences than standard alt-rock. Commonly including indie rock and post-hardcore.
