Big Dismal

Big Dismal was a Christian rock band. Rolling Stone named Big Dismal one of "Five Christian Bands on the Rise" and the band had three CONSECUTIVE #1 Singles off their debut record, Believe on Christian Rock radio (Remember, I.O.U., Reality and Just The Same). The band's first #1 Single, (Remember, I.O.U.) was named Song of the Year in Christian Rock Radio by Radio and Records, having remained at #1 on the chart for over (6) weeks. The song was also used in the Chris Benoit tribute edition of Raw. Big Dismal was also named Band of the Year in the Christian Rock market by Radio and Records and were also nominated for a Dove award in 2004 for Christian Rock Album of the Year. Music videos were created for each of their #1 Singles as well as for the song "Rainy Day."

The "Believe" album for Wind Up Records received critical acclaim but failed to sell well due to Wind-up Records' deceitful business practices and overall dropping of the ball and failing to capitalize on obvious marketing strategies. Front man Eric Durrance has announced that the band have split. Eric Durrance has gone solo and has recorded a country record with the other band members moving on to new projects.
