House of Protection

House of Protection, the new venture from Stephen Harrison and Aric Improta, serves as a sanctuary for those who surrender to impulse. Abandoning regard for tradition or form, they followed 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 for boundless creativity. Between their shared experience with Fever 333, Aric’s ongoing work with experimental rock group Night Verses and Steve’s turn as guitarist for iconic post-hardcore band The Chariot, the pair are renowned in the world of heavy music for never being afraid of extremes. House of Protection is a continuation of that unabashed self-expression, bottled into a snarling vessel of anger, 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 audience with a level of fearlessness and bliss that blurs the line between crowd and performers. Teaming up with close friends Jordan Fish (ex Bring Me The Horizon) & Nick DePirro (Night Verses), they created the sprawling, urgent debut single ‘It’s Supposed To Hurt.’ “We knew it wasn’t going to be easy to start again from scratch but that phrase became our ethos" offers Aric. House of Protection thrive in the margins of unpredictability, where anything goes and all are invited. Welcome home.
