House of Protection, the new venture from Stephen Harrison and Aric Improta, serves as asanctuary for those who surrender to impulse. Abandoning any regard for tradition and form, theyfollowed a feeling and unearthed a sound that sees them push their limits further than ever before.Bridging the not-so-disparate worlds of hardcore, electronica, and punk, they forged a space forboundless creativity and a community fueled by chaos.
Between their shared experience with Fever 333, Aric’s ongoing work with experimental rockgroup Night Verses, and Steve’s turn as guitarist for iconic post-hardcore band The Chariot, thepair are renowned in the world of heavy music for never being afraid of extremes. House ofProtection is a continuation of that unabashed self-expression, bottled into a snarling vessel ofanger, uncertainty, joy, and creativity.
“We wanted to create something where all our ideas, no matter how wild, felt safe,” says Steve.That’s the foundation for which House of Protection was built upon, arming their audiences witha level of fearlessness and bliss that blurs the line between the crowd and the performers. Inspiredby the likes of The Smashing Pumpkins, The Prodigy, Alice Glass, Massive Attack, Cocteau Twinsand Sleigh Bells, the pair were drawn to bands that invented their own way to bring a certainenergy to the stage.
Teaming up with close friends Nick DePirro (Night Verses) and Jordan Fish (Bring Me TheHorizon), they created the sprawling, urgent debut single ‘It’s Supposed To Hurt.’ “We knew itwasn’t going to be easy to start again from scratch but that phrase became our ethos. Startingagain was the whole point of this,” offers Aric. And it paid off. That fresh start has led to their debutEP, GALORE earning praise from the likes of The Guardian, NME, Alt Press, Kerrang!, amongothers. House of Protection thrive in the margins of unpredictability, where anything goes and allare invited. Welcome home.
