With no shortage of riffy burl and good humor at their disposal, L.A.-based heavy rockers Caveman Voicebox recently digitally released their second EP, Facial Hair and Harmonies. The follow-up to the foursome’s late-2011 debut, Stippers, Mullets and Beer (review here), it keeps to more or less a similar approach of straightforward riff-led traditionalist heavy grooves, and that suits the band pretty well. Once more driven by bassist/vocalist Graham Wilson, they cut their teeth on memorable, sans-frills hooks and thickened shuffling riffery, knocking every now and then into dual-guitar harmonies that lead the way strongly into some call-and-response vocal interplay in the chorus.

The clip itself is likemindedly straightforward. Wilson shows up and finds the rest of the band — guitarists Karl Caleb and Mike McKnight and drummer Matt Merrow — in a practice space or studio room, and they proceed to rock it out. Behind the scenes footage, presumably from the recording of the EP, is spliced in for flavor, but really, it’s the song itself that’s the draw as it nestles into an entirely unpretentious, welcoming vibe. To put it in what have unfortunately become political terms, they’re a band you could want to have a beer with.
