Ayron co-wrote ‘Filthy’ alongside Marti Frederikson (Ozzy Osbourne, Carrie Underwood) and Scott Stevens (Shinedown, Halestorm). On the track, heavy breathing gives way to a thick guitar riff punctuated by bluesy bends as Jones embraces a seductively primal croon weaving together suggestive verses before a proclamation on the hook, “In my town, they don’t call me dope, they call me filthy.” Between these fits of vocal ecstasy, he leans into the groove and churns out a fret-burning lead topped off with a funky gallop. Jones puts it best, “Turn this mother up and get loud if you’re filthy.” “Where I’m from the word ‘Filthy’ is used as the highest compliment in the land. It means that you are so good at what you do and who you are that it should be a sin,” shared Jones. “That’s what was on my mind when I began working on this song. I wanted to celebrate counterculture and promote pride in what means to be considered ‘different.’”One of America’s hottest breakout artists of 2021, Ayron achieved massive success with his US Top 5 debut single ‘ Take Me Away’ laying a foundation for multi-week No. 1 single ‘ Mercy’ and the Top 5 hit ‘ Supercharged’, all taken from his critically-acclaimed album CHILD OF THE STATE. The 2022 iHeartRadio Music Awards Best New Rock Artist nominee was deemed by American Songwriter as not only “ one of the biggest up-and-coming names in rock music” but also “one of the biggest names in the genre.”In the UK Ayron has wowed fans with headline shows and this summer blew away a huge audience opening the Download Festival. He’s also had huge amounts of critical acclaim with Classic Rock naming CHILD OF THE STATE one of their Albums of 2021. The gritty, genre-blending artist’s reach now extends well beyond his Seattle roots, having played alongside Run DMC, Shinedown, Public Enemy, Rahkim, Jeff Beck, Black Stone Cherry, Theory of a Deadman, Robin Trower, and Spearhead, plus opened for iconic acts The Rolling Stones, Guns ‘N’ Roses, and B.B. King. Following select European headline dates this summer, Jones is slated to return in November for a run of shows in the UK and France. UK HEADLINE TOUR

ACCLAIM FOR CHILD OF THE STATE “This is the album that will take Ayron Jones from the Pacific Northwest to the mainstream. Child of the State, as a complete package, is astonishing. It rumbles, shakes. It includes thick riffs, lighting solos and raspy intimacy. In many ways, it also fits within the lineage of other heavy Seattle rock groups like SoundGarden and Alice In Chains. And, in a way, that’s very much on purpose.”
– American Songwriter “This album catches you right from the first listen and doesn’t let up. The album opening swagger-filled ‘Boys From the Puget Sound’, the soulful desperation of ‘Mercy’, the chugging lead single ‘Take Me Away’ and the live wire energy of ‘Supercharged’ kick off the record on a definite high note. Meanwhile, the string-infused ‘Spinning Circles’, the raw ‘Baptized in Muddy Waters’ and the triumphant closer ‘Take Your Time’ make this an essential top-to-bottom listen.”
– Loudwire “From the full-fat riffage and punk-blues vocal of swaggering opener ‘Boys From The Puget Sound’ to the grunge blast of ‘Killing Season’, to the good old-fashioned raunch of ‘Supercharged’, this album feels like a showcase of every aspect of Ayron Jones‘ character.”
