Los Angeles based rock band Feathergun were selected by a judging panel of music industry A&R reps as winners of the Surfrider Foundation's 2003 Battle of the Bands. The 2nd annual "Battle for da Beach" held at the Viper Room in Hollywood on October 18th was sponsored by the World Famous KROQ. Featured were four of the top acts in Los Angeles, all battling it out onstage for a shot at the grand prize of $1000. In the end, Feathergun were victorious after delivering a powerful set that brought the crowd to their knees. The night was put together as a benefit for the Malibu Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting our oceans, waves and beaches.

Sam Lewis, lead singer for Feathergun added "It was an honor to be a part of the Surfrider Foundation's Battle at the Viper Room. As a surfer, I appreciate everything they do to keep our oceans and beaches clean. We were thrilled when Feathergun was declared the winner, I guess hard work does eventually pay off!"

Feathergun, coming off of their highly successful Fall tour with Swedish Grammy winners "Stonecake", are currently in the studio completing their forthcoming acoustic EP "Absent Runaway".
