Everyone Are Welcome to Become the Additional Haim Bandmate.

"Do you know when you'll be interviewing the band?" an inquiry pops up. "I wanted to ask if I can join as their extra sister."

There's just one problem: The sender also wants to be Haim's fourth member. Furthermore, we are not alone. Multiple famous supporters have also petitioned for the position.

It's clear an irresistible appeal is happening. The siblings Este, Danielle and Alana began their path doing sets at neighborhood delis with their family. Presently, they stand as multiple Grammy contenders.

Similar to the greatest bands, they're a tight-knit unit. Their visuals often show them striding in harmony down the roads of Los Angeles. On stage, they play with such boundless happiness you find yourself thinking, "I want to be involved in that, too."

"The amount of times on tour that audience members came up to us and said, 'Seeing you perform, I bought a bass'," remarks Alana, the youngest of the sisters. "That's the biggest honour. It is a prize in itself. Our mission is accomplished if we can motivate people to make music."

"Therefore all are welcome to be the next part of the family."

Award Recognition

The group are connecting from a break, where they're taking a pause after an extensive tour in support of their latest album, I Quit.

They're currently processing the news it's been nominated for best rock album at the Grammy Awards – with Haim the first all-woman band ever in consideration for the trophy.

"I follow the announcements every year, so it kind of feels like a surreal movie when your name is read out," says Alana. "I needed to phone my sisters to say, 'Did we just hear this right or am I dreaming'?"

The importance of the accolade resonates with the band.

"We truly set out to make a guitar-driven album this time, so it's a major milestone," adds Alana. "However we're just thankful for the female artists that came before us."

Emotional Upheaval and Candor

The album came out of a phase of transition. All three sisters found themselves single, and the music explores that strange in-between place where you're relieved to be free, but not entirely ready to move on.

The lyrics detail breakups and goodbyes. The sisters desire love, but not the kind of love they've had. You can hear them determining in the moment who they want to be.

"I love way of putting it, yes," says Danielle. "I Quit is essentially a slogan. You have to consciously practice ignoring the criticism and saying, 'It doesn't matter to me what people think'."

Refinement of Sound

That newfound toughness demanded a fresh approach – more unpolished and powerful than anything the band had done before.

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

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

"'Journey of the drum sound' will be the name of our biography," quips Alana. "Our motto is, our albums won't commence until we find the perfect drum sound."

Stories and Collective Laughter

The trio's openness fueled the album's rollout, where the sisters disclosed some of their romantic tales.

One man ended things with Este over a medical consideration. Alana recalled a story of travelling to spend New Year's Eve with someone, only to receive a high five at midnight.

"When you're going through these breakups, you just feel like there's no hope," explains Alana. "Thus to be able to find humor in those stories and have them tell you even crazier stories, it's so amazing."

A Confident Legacy

One can easily sense a shift in the band. These days, Haim are more certain of their position in the music world.

They're festival headliners, with hit albums and an worldwide fan base.

However Haim will forever be their top focus.

"Me and my siblings have been performing since I was four," says Alana. "There is no alternative that we were supposed to do. And I'm really thankful we've reached this point and we're still making music."
