Artist History In various forms, Positive Thinking Kills (PTK) has been around for about 3 years. In 1996, Todd Rigney, frontman and sole member, started messing around with computer-generated music after leaving his folk-rock band CLiCHe after a fatal car accident killed his best friend/guitarist. In 1997, Todd released "Faces In The Void" under the alias Industry Of Sound on the web-based J-Bird Records. Though a commercial flop, Industry Of Sound did pick up a few critical acclaims for its inventive experimental approach to industrial music as well as techniques used in creating the album. After about a year-and-a-half fast from the music scene, Todd has returned as Positive Thinking Kills with a fresh approach to the genre he can't seem to stay away from.
