SUMMARY:House of Protection at Scala - Saturday 11th July 2026 - 6:00 pm un
 til 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 befo
 re. Bridging the not-so-disparate worlds of hardcore\, electronica\, and p
 unk\, they forged a space for boundless creativity and a community fueled 
 by chaos.\n\nBetween their shared experience with Fever 333\, Aric’s ong
 oing work with experimental rock group Night Verses\, and Steve’s turn a
 s guitarist for iconic post-hardcore band The Chariot\, the pair are renow
 ned in the world of heavy music for never being afraid of extremes. House 
 of Protection is a continuation of that unabashed self-expression\, bottle
 d 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. Inspi
 red by the likes of The Smashing Pumpkins\, The Prodigy\, Alice Glass\, Ma
 ssive Attack\, Cocteau Twins\, and Sleigh Bells\, the pair were drawn to a
 rtists 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 Fi
 sh (Bring Me The Horizon)\, they created the sprawling\, urgent debut sing
 le “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 a
 gain was the whole point of this\,” offers Aric.\n\nAnd it paid off. Tha
 t fresh start has led to their debut EP\, GALORE\, earning praise from the
  likes of The Guardian\, NME\, Alt Press\, and Kerrang!\, among others. Ho
 use of Protection thrive in the margins of unpredictability\, where anythi
 ng goes and all are invited. Welcome home.
