## History

Stephen Harrison and Aric Improta met in 2017 as members of rock/metal band Fever 333. Harrison was formerly the guitarist in The Chariot, and Improta also drums in Night Verses. In October 2022, Harrison and Improta announced their joint departure from Fever 333. In April 2024, it was reported that Harrison and Improta had formed a new band, House of Protection, and that they had signed to Red Bull Records. The band name was inspired by the 1994 Massive Attack album Protection, and also to indicate that the project would protect their creativity. Although neither had previously been a lead vocalist, they decided they would share lead vocal duties in House of Protection.
Their debut single "It's Supposed to Hurt" was released on April 30, 2024, along with an official music video. The song was produced by former Bring Me the Horizon member Jordan Fish, and also made in collaboration with Nick DePirro, who plays with Improta in Night Verses. "It's Supposed to Hurt" was featured on the soundtrack to the video game WWE 2K25. Their second single, "Learn to Forget", was released on June 7, 2024. Their third single, "Being One", was released on June 27, 2024, along with an official music video directed by Kevin Garcia, that was influenced by the 1981 film Koyannisqatsi. On August 9, 2024, the band released the single "Pulling Teeth". The music video for the single was filmed in Ahmedabad, India, with the band performing the song at the bottom of a "wall of death" while stunt drivers on motorcycles and in cars drove around them.
House of Protection's debut EP, GALORE, was released on September 13, 2024, on Red Bull Records. The six-track EP was produced by Fish.
On February 18, 2025, the duo released "Afterlife", the lead single from their upcoming second EP, Outrun You All, set for release on Red Bull Records on May 23, 2025. On February 26, 2025, the Architects single "Brain Dead" was released, featuring House of Protection. The single is on the Architects' album The Sky, the Earth & All Between on Epitaph Records.
