All Fans is Invited to Become the Additional Haim Sisters Sister.

"Any idea when you're chatting with Haim?" a message reads. "I wanted to ask if I can become their newest bandmate."

There's just one problem: I also desires to be Haim's additional sibling. What's more, we are in plentiful company. Several celebrated admirers have publicly petitioned for the position.

One thing is obvious an irresistible appeal is going on. Sisters Este, Danielle and Alana launched their path playing gigs at small eateries with their family. Presently, they stand as repeated Grammy Award contenders.

Like all the greatest bands, they're a tight-knit trio. Their videos often depict them marching in harmony down the streets of Los Angeles. On stage, they jam with such boundless happiness you find yourself thinking, "I want to be part of that, too."

"The numerous instances on tour that audience members told us and said, 'Watching you live, I bought a drum kit'," says Alana, the most junior of the trio. "That's the ultimate honour. That's an award in itself. Our mission is accomplished if we can encourage young girls to make music."

"Therefore everyone gets an invitation to be the honorary member of Haim."

Grammy Nod

The band have called into home, where they're taking a pause after an lengthy tour in promoting their latest album, I Quit.

They're presently processing the news it's been nominated for a top rock honor at the Grammy Awards – with Haim the very first all-female band ever in consideration for the award.

"I tune into the lists every year, so it sort of feels like The Truman Show when your name is announced," explains Alana. "I needed to phone my sisters to say, 'Am I hearing this right or am I imagining things'?"

The importance of the honor isn't lost on the sisters.

"We deliberately set out to make a rock record this time, so it's a significant step," says Alana. "Yet we're just thankful for the female artists that came before us."

Personal Turmoil and Humour

The project came out of a time of personal change. All three sisters were single, and the music captures that strange in-between place where you're happy to be free, but not quite ready to move on.

The words detail endings and farewells. The sisters want love, but not the kind of love they've experienced. You can hear them working out in real life who they aspire to be.

"That's a perfect way of putting it, yes," agrees Danielle. "I Quit is essentially a mantra. You have to consciously practice ignoring the noise and saying, 'I couldn't care less what people think'."

Evolution of Sound

That recent toughness called for a fresh approach – more organic and direct than anything the band had done before.

For Danielle, who worked on producing the album, that started with the percussion.

"The drum sound is such a detailed thing, and I care so much about it," she emphasizes.

"'Journey of the drum sound' will be the name of our book," laughs Alana. "I've said it, our albums won't commence until we find the ideal drum sound."

Anecdotes and Shared Humor

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

One man broke up with Este over a health consideration. Alana shared a story of flying to celebrate 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 light," notes Alana. "Thus to be able to find humor in those stories and hear others tell you wilder stories, it's therapeutic."

An Assured Future

You can clearly sense a shift in the band. These days, Haim are more confident of their position in the industry.

They're top-billed acts, with successful albums and an worldwide fan base.

Yet the sister act will always be their number one focus.

"Me and my siblings have been making music since I was four," concludes Alana. "There is no alternative that we were meant to do. And I'm really thankful we've made it and we're still making music."
