You know how their faces contort when hitting certain notes or rhythms? Why is that triggered in the face? Is it an emotional response? Communication by facial expression? Vestigial from some other process?

I remember an interview with a guitarist. He recalled being chewed out by the director of a video they were shooting. Their conversation went something like this:
“You need to stop making such ugly faces while playing.” “But it just happens! I can’t help it!” “Your guitar isn’t even plugged in to anything. Knock it off with the goddam faces.”
On the same tangent, there was a band called Flyleaf that had a minor hit in 2005 called “All Around Me.”
In the video, the bass player is hopping around like he’s high on crack the entire video. It’s extremely distracting. The director should have nailed his feet to the floor.
