Gas Station Mentality is launching a crowdfunding campaign for their 2017 North American Tour through www.indiegogo.com.

MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA, May 23, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- This summer, bring an “electric prog fusion” band, Gas Station Mentality, to your hometown. Gas Station Mentality is on the cutting edge of the music scene in Montreal, Canada, and is made up of three wonderful, fun and hard working individuals; Blake Hawley-Guitar, Antoine Pelegrin-Bass, and Guillaume Pilote-Drums.

GSM gained immediate international and national attention after the release of their self-titled debut album in 2015. The album was propelled into the limelight after GSM performed at The Festival International de Jazz de Montréal. Blake was awarded the title of Best Guitarist at the festival and was given a beautiful, handmade electric guitar built by the master luthier from from Finland, Juha Ruokangas. Since then, the group’s recognition has been growing like wildfire, and in a short amount of time, their music has become an anthem to the ears of jazz and rock fans in Canada, US, Finland and across the globe.

What is the recipe for the rapidly growing success of GSM? Heartfelt songs, awe-inspiring live performances, an intense work ethic and a very close relationship to the fans. Not to mention the masterful musicianship apparent in their recordings. Blake recently completed his master’s degree in jazz performance from McGill University while touring with GSM and recording the band’s latest album.

After 2 years of preparation, the band is finally ready to release its second album Systematically Manufactured
​ ; a most compelling collection of songs that cross all generic boundaries and somehow maintain an element of familiarity. The group will be embarking on a 2017 North American Tour to support this this latest album and they are looking for your support to bring their performance to as many cities and towns across North America and even the world as possible, that’s why they are launching this crowdfunding campaign via https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/gsm-north-american-tour-2017-music-metal/​.
