Re: "New Prog," the genre - A MUST READ
I think we're missing the point of why I posted this article. I don't care one way or another whether the press wants to call this prog revival New Prog. The glorious thing is that there IS a prog revival! Mars Volta, Mew, The Mystery Jets, Pure Reason Revolution, Oceansize, Muse, ...and They Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, and dozens of other new prog and proggish bands are emerging from a genuine scene, rather than consciously rehashing the originators. This to me is encouraging and refreshing. They're definitely prog, but they come with more recent influences.
