In the wide-open spaces of Montana, where rugged landscapes and fresh air set the tone for life, BLVDS is breaking through with a sound that defies expectations. Comprised of Ryan Hayes and Jake Goldberg, this duo is blending electronic music with surprising influences from metal and rock to create something truly unique. Their latest single, Two Sides, is a masterclass in genre fusion, blending Synthwave, Retrowave, Darkwave, and electronic stylings in a way that feels both unexpected and irresistible. The track is a bold statement, perfectly capturing the energy and emotional depth that BLVDS brings to the table.
Two Sides opens with atmospheric synths that build slowly before bursting into an explosive, high-energy chorus. The track is grounded in a dark, driving beat, but it’s Hayes’ metal influence that truly elevates the song. His voice carries a raw, aggressive edge that clashes with Goldberg’s polished electronic production, creating an intriguing tension throughout the song. The collaboration with Righteous Vendetta adds another layer of intensity, giving the track a metalcore punch that perfectly contrasts with its Synthwave roots. The result is a genre-blending masterpiece that captures both the emotional highs and lows of life.
What makes Two Sides standout is its complexity. The song’s duality is mirrored in its production—beginning as a soft, moody instrumental before erupting into a full-force electronic metal anthem. It’s this duality that captures the essence of the track: raw emotion, darkness, and a relentless energy that keeps the listener on edge. The way BLVDS seamlessly integrates these seemingly contradictory influences speaks to their creativity and musical vision.
For fans of electronic music looking for something with more edge, or metal fans wanting to explore a softer, retro sound, BLVDS offers the best of both worlds. Two Sides is just the beginning of what promises to be a compelling musical journey for this Montana-based duo.
