SUMMARY:House of Protection at Scala - Saturday 11th July 2026 - 6:00 pm until 10:00 pm 

DESCRIPTION:House of Protection\, the new venture from Stephen Harrison and Aric Improta\, serves as a sanctuary for those who surrender to impulse. Abandoning any regard for tradition and 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 and a community fueled by chaos.\n\nBetween 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.\n\n“We wanted to create something where all our ideas\, no matter how wild\, felt safe\,” says Steve. That’s the foundation upon which House of Protection was built\, arming their audiences with a level of fearlessness and bliss that blurs the line between the crowd and the performers. Inspired by the likes of The Smashing Pumpkins\, The Prodigy\, Alice Glass\, Massive Attack\, Cocteau Twins\, and Sleigh Bells\, the pair were drawn to artists who invented their own way to bring a certain energy to the stage.\n\nTeaming up with close friends Nick DePirro (Night Verses) and Jordan Fish (Bring Me The Horizon)\, 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. Starting again was the whole point of this\,” offers Aric.\n\nAnd it paid off. That fresh start has led to their debut EP\, GALORE\, earning praise from the likes of The Guardian\, NME\, Alt Press\, and Kerrang!\, among others. House of Protection thrive in the margins of unpredictability\, where anything goes and all are invited. Welcome home.
