Let&#8217;s file their sophomore full-length <a href=\"https:\/\/thebepositives.bandcamp.com\/album\/everything-about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Everything About&#8230;<\/em><\/a> under the power pop category. That album title is somewhat overpromising, because the lyrics don&#8217;t teach us much about the band (from <em>Rain &amp; Stormy Weather<\/em>: &#8220;Well If it wasn&#8217;t such a simple question \/\/ Then I would have given it a little thought \/\/ And if I&#8217;d given her a different answer \/\/ Then yes I think it would have come to nought&#8221;). What we do know: Mike Seal (guitar, keyboards), Simon Mayne (guitar), Rob Hatton (bass), Callum Darley (drums, percussion) can all sing, and they know how to write varied, melodic songs. These are 11 tests of prowess, ranging from energetic rockers to acoustic ballads. Standout tracks are the garage fueled <em>Please Please Please<\/em> (&#8220;You got me feeling like I am a disease \/\/ Yeah you got me going&#8221;), and the catchy pub rocker <em>Goodbye<\/em> (&#8220;No I have never been the type \/\/ To get help for myself \/\/ I just pretend the problem&#8217;s someone else&#8217;s&#8221;).
