Everyone Are Encouraged to Become the Extra Haim Sisters Member.

"Do you know when you'll be speaking to Haim?" a message pops up. "I wanted to ask if I can join as their fourth member."

There is only a single issue: The author likewise desires to be Haim's additional sibling. And we're not alone. A host of famous admirers have also petitioned for the honor.

It's clear an irresistible appeal is going on. The siblings Este, Danielle and Alana launched their career playing gigs at small eateries with their family. Now they're multiple Grammy contenders.

Similar to the greatest bands, they're a tight-knit trio. Their music videos often show them marching in sync down the avenues of Los Angeles. During performances, they play with such unfettered exuberance you find yourself thinking, "I want to be involved in that, too."

"The numerous instances on tour that fans told us and said, 'Seeing you perform, I got a guitar'," states Alana, the youngest of the sisters. "That is the greatest honor. That's an award in itself. Our mission is accomplished if we can motivate others to make music."

"Therefore everyone are welcome to be the next member of Haim."

Award Nod

The group are connecting from a break, where they're recovering after an major tour in for their new album, I Quit.

They're currently processing the news it's been nominated for best rock album at the Grammys – with Haim the first female band ever in consideration for the trophy.

"I follow the nominations every year, so it almost feels like a surreal movie when your name is called," says Alana. "I immediately called my sisters to say, 'Did we just hear this right or am I hallucinating'?"

The importance of the accolade resonates with the trio.

"We deliberately set out to make a rock album this time, so it's a huge milestone," adds Alana. "However we're just grateful for the female artists that came before us."

Heartbreak and Laughter

The project emerged from a time of personal change. All three sisters ended up single, and the music explores that unique in-between place where you're happy to be free, but not quite ready to move on.

The words track departures and partings. The sisters want love, but not the kind of love they've got. You can hear them working out in real life who they aspire to be.

"I adore way of putting it, yes," agrees Danielle. "I Quit is like a slogan. You have to consciously practice ignoring the outside opinions and saying, 'I don't give what people think'."

Development of Sound

That recent resilience called for a different sonic direction – more raw and immediate than any of the music the band had done before.

For Danielle, who co-produced the album, that began with the percussion.

"Drums are such a nuanced thing, and I care so much about it," she states.

"'Journey of the drum sound' will be the subject of our biography," quips Alana. "I always say, our albums don't start until we find the right drum sound."

Anecdotes and Collective Laughter

The band's candor fueled the album's rollout, where the sisters shared some of their romantic misadventures.

One man broke up with Este over a health concern. Alana told a story of flying to spend New Year's Eve with someone, only to receive a casual gesture at midnight.

"During these breakups, you just feel like there's no light," notes Alana. "Thus to be able to laugh at those stories and hear others tell you even crazier stories, it's incredible."

An Assured Future

It's not difficult sense a evolution in the band. These days, Haim are more assured of their position in the industry.

They're major draws, with chart-topping albums and an international following.

However Haim will consistently be their number one commitment.

"My sisters and I have been making music since I was little," concludes Alana. "There is no other path that we were supposed to do. And I'm really fortunate we've made it and we're still kicking."
