Released May 6, 2003 When singer/songwriter Eric Durrance was growing up in Tallahassee, FL, he used to spend his summers exploring a geological landmark known as "Big Dismal". The site is characterized by a massive sinkhole where 100-foot walls plunge straight down to the water below. As an adult, the title of the landmark took on a new meaning for the singer and the band that would adopt this name as their moniker. "As we began looking at the world and everything around us, we started thinking, 'Man, these are dismal times we're in,’" Durrance says. "This name makes sense, because our music is positive and we're trying to bring a little bit of truth and inspiration into a dismal place." On Believe, Big Dismal's debut on Wind-up Records, the Tallahassee-based quartet delivers a powerhouse rock album, bolstered by Durrance's acoustic-conjured melodies and lyrics that reflect the group's strong Christian faith. He mentioned, “This first record is a lot about love, heartache and getting through tough times," he says. "The average person is going to relate to these songs." The young musician was raised a Southern Baptist. His mother was a musician who performed regularly and his father was a semi- truck driver. He recalls, "During my early years, I wound up at my grandma's a lot. She taught me so much about life and religion -- she is such a strong force in my life. The first single, 'Remember (I.O.U.),' is dedicated to her, and the song pretty much explains the whole story of being brought up in part by my grandparents."
