It’s finally here! The debut EP from one of the most exciting new acts to emerge this year, House Of Protection. Produced and co-written with ex Bring Me The Horizon member Jordan Fish, the duo made up of Aric Improta (drums) and Stephen Harrison (guitar) deliver a debut that is everything you would want and more. Spanning six tracks including the previously released ‘Pulling Teeth‘, ‘Learn To Forget‘, ‘Being One‘ and ‘It’s Supposed To Hurt‘ and two new songs ‘Fuse’ and ‘Better Off’, it’s an eclectic mix that brings together a whole range of genre’s into one cohesive piece that showcases not only their musicality and originality but ability to write memorable songs that can fit on a variety of bills. There’s elements of their hardcore, metal and punk roots on songs like ‘Pulling Teeth’, ‘Learn To Forget’ and ‘It’s Supposed To Hurt’, while the electronics shine on ‘Fuse’, ‘Being One’ and ‘Better Off’. The vocal duties are shared between them and span a whole range of styles from fast raps to screams and singing, each done with intent to make you feel something.
Speaking 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.”
Along with the EP they have also shared a video for new single ‘Fuse’ which has a frantic Progidy-esque backbone, split up by soaring chorus as Stephen flexes his vocal ability with some beautiful falsettos.
Speaking 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.”
