Trash City are sad to announce the passing of Kearney Barton, one of the greatest producer/engineers that has ever lived.

The same way Sam Philips created the sound of Memphis with his recording studio and Sun label, Kearney Barton captured the wild sound of the Pacific Northwest.

Seemingly always recording IN THE RED, Barton gave teen punks like The Sonics, The Wailers, Rocky and the Riddlers, The Frantics and many many more their raucous, badder than bad sound.

RIP Kearney Barton.
