House Of Protection announce their debut EP, GALORE
Aric Improta and Stephen Harrison AKA House of Protection have unveiled details of their debut EP, GALORE.
Alongside the news, they dropped their fourth single, "Pulling Teeth" with an official video shot inside the legendary “Well of Death”. In April, the band travelled to Ahmedabad, India to capture a performance in the country’s infamous carnival sideshow. Aric and Stephen played at the bottom of a wooden pit while stunt drivers defied gravity and rode vertically around the well as locals watched from above.
On the making of the video, the band shares, “The first day we met the full Red Bull Records team, we asked if they would be down to fly us to India to perform in a “Well of Death” – an idea we’d been sitting on for years. To our surprise, they were immediately on board, so we knew we just needed the right song. After two sessions of writing with Jordan, we finished “Pulling Teeth” and felt it was the perfect track to score the concept. I think we always perform best when the environment is a bit chaotic, so we were excited to see what would happen."
"After 30 hours of travel, including cancelled flights, flooding in our connecting airport (Dubai), a cancelled location (due to a political rally), and an additional 16 hours of driving round-trip through the desert to the backup location… we finally found ourselves in the Well of Death," the continue. "We did nine takes with a live audience, all while our director was throwing up between shots and one of the motorcycles died in the middle of the performance. That said, we came out with something better than we ever could have expected and had an incredible team on the ground that made it all possible.”
House of Protection will play their debut live shows on 24 September at 1720 in Los Angeles and 15 October at Underworld in London.
GALORE is set for release on 13 September via Red Bull Records, and is available to pre-order now. Tickets are available now via houseofprotectionmusic.com.
