House of Protection isn’t just a band, it’s a sonic and energetic force. Born from the minds of Stephen Harrison and Aric Improta, both known for their explosively creative work with Fever 333, The Chariot, and Night Verses, this new project carves out a creative space that’s as chaotic as it is cathartic. With their upcoming EP Outrun You All, they’re blending hardcore, electronic textures, cinematic visuals, and raw emotion into something that feels urgent and undeniably alive.
True to form, House of Protection isn’t holding anything back. They’re sprinting toward something new – blurring genre lines, weaponizing powerful vulnerability, and unchaining creativity. Released from RedBull Records, Outrun You All dropped on May 23rd. If the singles are any indication, it’s not just an EP – it’s a warning shot.

“Afterlife,” “Fire,” and “I Need More Than This” each have their own curated visuals, which are *chef’s kiss*. There’s something special that happens when musicians like Aric Improta take an interdisciplinary approach to creating art and get their hands dirty in multiple mediums. Aric as a co-director and editor, along with Steve and the rest of the video team – established a dope symbiosis between what you see and what you hear. They’ve created their own cinematic universe. Don’t sleep on it.
