House Of Protection, the exhilarating new project from ex-Fever 333 members Stephen Harrison (guitar) and Aric Improta (drums), release their debut EP today.
Bridging the not-so-distant worlds of hardcore, electronica, and punk, they create a space for limitless creativity and a community fueled by chaos. Executive produced by Jordan Fish (formerly of Bring Me the Horizon), the six-track album is a full-on, all-out effort that showcases the duo’s superb playing skills.
Just four months after forming, House Of Protection has released four singles, “It’s Supposed To Hurt,” “Learn To Forget,” “Being One,” and “Pulling Teeth,” showcasing their genre-defying sound. This album has received high praise from the music press, including The Guardian, NME, and Alt Press, and foreshadows the cathartic energy of “GALORE.”

Regarding the production of the EP “GALORE,” House of Protection commented:
“This EP is an important work that shows the direction of the music we will be delivering in the future. It’s full of different styles and vibes and is always full of energy. We hope it inspires you. Welcome back to our home.”
The first tracks from the EP are “Better Off” and “Fuse.” “Fuse” is a nostalgic track that evokes the 90s rave scene, with punk attitude, rock riffs, and electronic elements reminiscent of The Prodigy. Staying true to their high-energy, hardcore style, it balances chaos with vocal calm, making it hard to believe this is their first time singing. The official video, released today, shows Aric and Stephen performing a crowd-pleasing performance on two platforms in an underground warehouse space.

Regarding “Fuse,” Alick said:
“For me, ‘Fuse’ feels like the centerpiece of the album. The verses have that raw electronic energy of the earlier songs, and the chorus is rich with the contrast between Steve’s vocals and Jordan’s production. Even after finishing it, I think it’s the song I listen to the most.”
Prior to today, each side of the EP was released with an accompanying creative, intricate and risky music video, getting fans talking. House of Protection is as much a visual experience as it is a musical one, and their live show is no exception, bringing that explosive energy to two stage shows: their debut show at The Echo in Los Angeles on October 4th, and a sold-out show at Underworld in London on October 15th.

House of Protection
House of Protection is a new venture by Stephen Harrison and Aric Improta, a place for people who are easily swept away by the momentary impulse. The two have cast aside all attachment to conventions and frameworks, explored sounds as they felt, and pushed their boundaries further than ever before. Bridging the gap between genres that have some common ground such as hardcore, electronica, and punk, they have built a place for endless creativity and a community driven by chaos.
Following their shared stints in Fever 333, Alic’s ongoing involvement in experimental rock band Night Verses, and Steve’s time as guitarist in post-hardcore icon The Chariot, the duo have made a name for themselves in the world of heavy music with their fearless approach to radicalism. House of Protection is their continued effort at unabashed self-expression, packing rage, uncertainty, joy, and creativity into one quirky vessel.
“We wanted to create a place where we felt safe to bring all our ideas, no matter how reckless,” says Steve. House of Protection was built on that idea, inspiring listeners with a fearlessness and joy, blurring the lines between audience and performer. Influenced by The Smashing Pumpkins, The Prodigy, Alice Glass, Massive Attack, Cocteau Twins and Sleigh Bells, the duo were drawn to bands who had a unique and established way of bringing a certain energy to the stage.
They enlisted close friends Nick DePirro (of Night Verses) and Jordan Fish (formerly of Bring Me The Horizon) to create the free-spirited and urgent debut single “It’s Supposed To Hurt.” “We knew starting over from scratch wouldn’t be easy, but that phrase became our guiding principle. Starting over became a key theme,” Aric explains. House of Protection thrives in the void of unpredictability. Here, everything is accepted, everyone is welcome. Here is where you have to come home.
