House of Protection unveil debut EP GALORE

House of Protection, the exhilarating new project from Aric Improta (drums) and Stephen Harrison (guitar), today released their highly-anticipated debut EP, GALORE on Red Bull Records. Spanning six tracks executive produced by Jordan Fish, the package sees the duo flex their formidable musicianship in a cohesive package that fires on all cylinders. In just four months since their inception, the band have released four singles – “It’s Supposed To Hurt,” “Learn To Forget,” “Being One,” and the most recent “Pulling Teeth,” – that showcase their refusal to be defined by one sound. So far, it has earned them praise from the likes of Alt Press, BBC Radio 1, DIY, Dork, The Guardian, Kerrang!, Line of Best Fit, Metal Hammer, NME, Revolver, Rock Sound and more, setting the tone for the cathartic head rush that is GALORE.

On the making of GALORE, House of Protection share, “This EP means so much to us as it sets the tone for what people can expect from us from here on out: a plethora of different styles and vibes but consistent high energy. We hope this inspires you. Welcome home.”

The EP introduces two new tracks, “Better Off” and “Fuse,” the latter a nostalgic callback to the ‘90s rave scene, rife with punk attitude, rock riffs, and electronic stylings reminiscent of The Prodigy. While it remains true to their high-octane, hardcore energy, they balance the chaos with moments of vocal composure, making it hard to believe this is the first time they’ve sung on anything. In the official video out today, Aric and Stephen bring a palpable performance on dual platforms to a packed underground warehouse space.

On the song, Aric shares, “‘Fuse’, for me, feels like such a centre piece to the album. It’s got that raw electronic energy of our early songs in the verses, and then Steve’s vocals and Jordan’s production in the chorus are such a lush contrast. It’s probably the song I jammed most after we finished it.”

Ahead of today, each facet of the EP has been accompanied by creatively complex, high-risk music videos that keep fans on the edge of their seats.House of Protection achieve as much of a visual experience as they do sonically, and their live shows will be no different. They’ll bring their explosive energy to the stage in a pair of debut shows, with a new date in Los Angeles on October 4 at The Echo, followed by a sold out play on October 15 at Underworld in London.
