Aric Improta and Stephen Harrison’s new project, House of Protection, is back with ‘Learn to Forget’, the second single on Red Bull Records. Right out the gate it’s a thrashing slice of hardcore fit with screeching guitars and guttural screams. The dynamic production from Jordan Fish (prev. Bring Me The Horizon) is the added layer that elevates the single to new heights for a two-piece band.
The accompanying visualizer is another fast-paced, optic assault that sees House of Protection filmed under spotlight, matching the intensity of the song with quick cuts and a fierce performance. Directed by Kevin Garcia and edited by Sam Shapiro, the visual keeps the bar set by their debut video sky high, whilst offering viewers a further glimpse into what can be expected of their live shows.
The band shares, “’Learn To Forget’ feels very close to home for us as musicians. The pace, the riffs, the drum fills, it all leans towards music we grew up playing. We wanted to find a way to keep that in our sound, but not be limited by it. Jordan was really good about finding ways to take that energy and blend it with the production aesthetic we used on the other tracks. It’s definitely one we look forward to playing live.” This Is Pop? today’s song of the day is here for you.
