His lyrics are up there with the very best and the passion with which he sings them make him hard to forget. A humble and honest poet, Jody McKenna delivers beautifully crafted acoustic music inspired by songwriters of all eras, from Dylan to Bright Eyes. Jody has played a string of great supports and shows with the likes of Finley Quaye, Noah and The Whale, Magic Numbers, Jersey Budd, Cherbourg plus many more, creating a dedicated following around the city and now playing nationally. Jody appeared on Channel Fours Secret Millionaire programme in which himself and fellow musician Keith Hagger befriended successful businessman Martin Stamp; and through their dedication and honesty inspired him to donate £20,000 to the Warren Young Peoples Project. Jody has made music with musicians Nahro Zagros, Andy Swift and Dave Gawthorpe and is currently working on his third album.

Having only started gigging in February 2013, the band have quickly managed to stamp their brand onto the British Metal music scene. After sharing the stage with the likes of 36 CRAZY FISTS, BLACK TONGUE, ACRANIA, MARTYR DEFILED, RSJ, CONTINENTS and THE COLOUR LINE, they have proven that they have the knowledge to promote themselves to new and wider music scenes. In just over a year now since the band formed they have headlined in cities across the country including Hull, London and Wales. The band have had a range of main support slots to the likes of NEXILVA and more. Last year the band played Sunkfest for the first time and got a huge response from the loyal crowd who go to the festival year in and year out. The band are taking time off from playing shows this Summer to write a new single and shoot a brand new music video. However, the band have confirmed to play Humber Street Sesh and a number of other one-off shows. The band have shown no signs of slowing since their arrival onto the British music scene. After gaining the attention of people in the US, CANADA AND AUSTRALIA the band have already expanded their merch store to serve overseas. This band are undoubtedly one to watch in 2014. AAOT also supported Alaskan Metalcore giants 36 CRAZY FISTS at the highly regarded Central Station Venue in Wrexham (Wales). This came about after coming in the top three in a poll by the promoter Andy Gallanders at Central Station. The bands were handed to The Agency Group UK for the final decision and AN ACT OF TREASON were chosen. The venue has seen the likes of ENTER SHIKARI, BIFFY CLYRO, CHASE & STATUS, THE PIGEON DETECTIVES, THE PRODIGY, SUB FOCUS, MILBURN, THE AUTOMATIC play to sold-out crowds.
