House of Protection, the new project from Aric Improta (drums) and Stephen Harrison (guitar), announced their debut Ep ‘Galore’, coming to Red Bull Records on September 13. Alongside the news, they dropped their fourth adrenaline-inducing single, ‘Pulling Teeth’ with an official video shot inside the legendary “Well of Death”. Dating back to 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. Known for taking creative risks and producing boundary-pushing visuals, “Pulling Teeth” is yet another daring feat that proves no one does it quite like House of Protection.

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. This Is Pop? today’s song of the day is here for you.
