Decent at Best is a four piece Hybrid-electronic funky R&B outfit from Tacoma, Washington. Not too long ago, they released a danceable pop tune, entitled, “Take Your Time”.

“I got something else to say to you, I want you to know that you’ve been on my mind. I got nothing left to say to ya. Don’t waste my time.” – lyrics

‘Take Your Time’ is a funk and disco-inspired pop tune with infectious vocals and a groovy baseline.

The likable tune is perfectly suited for any outdoor function in the sun. Also, it was co-written and produced by Liz Scarlett of the Fame Riot.

The narrative tells an interesting tale which explores the complicated perspectives of a love connection.

Decent at Best continues to evolve as each member brings their own unique style and taste to the group.

They believe there are no rules when it comes to music, and they love to dabble in just about every genre.

Their only goal is to make music that compels you to move, and lyrics that can resonate with just about anyone.

The first entry in Matthew Harffy's Bernicia Chronicles series, which - I have to say - shares more than a few similarities to Bernard Cornwell's 'Last Kingdom' series in that it is set during Dark Ages Britain, with large parts in and around the fortress of Bebbanburg. Sound at all familiar?

When reading this, I had no idea which came first: this, or Cornwell's The Last Kingdom.

Thta's not to set that this novel isn't enjoyable, and that we can't have more than one story set in and about the same time period (indeed, if anything, this is set even earlier than Cornwell's novels, i.e. before the time of Alftred the Great): I did, in fact, quite enjoy this.

Throughout the course of this novel, we follow the exploits and the coming of age of Harffy's main protaganist, Beobrand of Bernicia, from his arrival at the court of King Edwin through his first taste of a battle in a shieldwall, to his time at a Christian Monastery and travels throughout a lawless land before finally settling down (at least, until the next novel!)

Detailed storytelling
Informative journey back to when taste was yet to be invented
As a lover of British life on the 70s but to young to have lived it, this book was as good as a time machine and gave a normal and somtimes bizzare look at how Britain felt and how life was being lived. The birth of Punk and the turbulent political system were linked due to the effect on youth and this disaffection became a catalyst that is still felt today. The strikes that shaped the view still held to this day of a broken Britain with dead no longer being buried, piles of rubbish in Trafalgar Square and the miners who play a part in the next book in the series. This book is for those that have a live of detail and the writing style allows this book to be read with speed and ease.

Overall this book and the rest of the series give the reader the chance to relive or live a fresh version on the 1950, 1960s and the glorious 70s.
