Crying Vessel started out as a solo project from Slade Templeton (Zoey Records, Influx Studios Bern), who is supported by live drummer and Bern local Basil Oberli, began making 'waves' in the Post-Punk and Darkwave/Goth scenes. Crying Vessel’s music blends successfully between post-punk guitars and electro, creating their own sound with influences from Depeche Mode, Erasure or The Cure.
