His name is Ryan “Tuck” O’Leary, and he loves being the bassist of Fit For A King. The new album, “The Hell We Create,” showcases the band’s best work to date. Tuck talks to IUF about the recording process that challenged him, along with his bandmates, to turn this 7th record into a release to remember. The ups, the downs, and the challenges were there for the band in recent years; results have shown on an emotional and powerful outing. There’s a level of nobility here, as Fit For A King has officially cemented themselves as one of the heavy hitters in the metalcore game, and Tuck knows that. Standing on the stage, and performing for the fans who have shown up and shown out throughout the band’s career in his eyes has given Tuck a level of appreciation. The fact he gets to do this for a living gives this gig a whole new level of gratitude. “The Hell We Create” is also the band’s deepest and most personal record they’ve ever written, and Tuck talks about his relationship with frontman Ryan Kirby and how his personal experiences have brought the band together more than ever – a unit with uncanny chemistry, on the stage and off. Lastly, we also talk to Tuck about his own podcast show titled “Get Tucked,” and the story of being a co-founder of Featured X. He may be a talented musician in one of the hardest working bands today, but never forget that he is always a fan first. And the passion runs deep. Tune in now with our conversation with Tuck and be sure to buy and stream the new album “The Hell We Create,” from Texas-based band Fit For A King, out now worldwide via Solid State Records.
