All Fans Are Welcome to Join as the Additional Haim Sisters Bandmate.

"Do you know when you'll be speaking to the band?" a text reads. "I was hoping to ask if I can join as their extra sister."

However, there remains one problem: The sender also desires to be the Haims' fourth member. What's more, we are not alone. Multiple celebrated supporters have publicly petitioned for the position.

It's clear a special quality is at play. Sisters Este, Danielle and Alana began their musical journey doing sets at neighborhood delis with their parents. Today, they are repeated Grammy nominees.

Similar to the best bands, they're a inseparable unit. Their visuals repeatedly depict them striding in sync down the streets of Los Angeles. In concert, they perform with such pure exuberance you inevitably think, "I want to be part of that, too."

"The amount of times on tour that fans told us and said, 'After your show, I got a guitar'," remarks Alana, the youngest of the Haim siblings. "It is the ultimate compliment. It is a prize in itself. We've done our job if we can encourage people to form a group."

"So all are welcome to be the next Haim sister."

Historic Recognition

The group have called into home, where they're recovering after an major tour in for their fourth album, I Quit.

They're currently celebrating the news it's been in the running for a top rock honor at the Grammys – with Haim the very first female band ever in the running for the award.

"I watch the announcements every year, so it sort of feels like a surreal movie when your name is read out," notes Alana. "I had to call my sisters to say, 'Am I hearing this right or am I imagining things'?"

The weight of the honor resonates with the sisters.

"We deliberately set out to make a rock record this time, so it's a significant step," continues Alana. "But we're just appreciative for the women that inspired us."

Emotional Upheaval and Humour

The project was born from a phase of transition. All three sisters were single, and the music captures that odd liminal space where you're happy to be free, but not yet ready to let go.

The lyrics track departures and farewells. The sisters seek love, but not the relationships they've experienced. You can hear them figuring out in the moment who they are becoming.

"I love summary, yes," responds Danielle. "I Quit is kind of like a personal statement. You have to consciously practice ignoring the noise and saying, 'I couldn't care less what people think'."

Evolution of Style

That recent toughness called for a new sound – more raw and powerful than anything the band had done before.

For Danielle, who worked on producing the album, that was founded on the percussion.

"Percussion is such a specific thing, and I am so passionate about it," she emphasizes.

"'Journey of the drum sound' will be the subject of our memoir," jokes Alana. "I've said it, our albums don't start until we find the perfect drum sound."

Anecdotes and Collective Laughter

The trio's honesty shaped the album's promotional campaign, where the sisters shared some of their personal misadventures.

Someone broke up with Este over a medical concern. Alana shared a story of travelling to celebrate New Year's Eve with someone, only to receive a casual gesture at midnight.

"Experiencing these setbacks, you just feel like there's only darkness," says Alana. "Thus to be able to share those stories and have them tell you more outrageous stories, it's so amazing."

A Confident Path

You can clearly sense a shift in the band. These days, Haim are more confident of their place in the rock pantheon.

They're major draws, with hit albums and an global audience.

Yet the band will forever be their top focus.

"We have been performing since I was four," says Alana. "It feels as if nothing else that we were destined for. And I'm really grateful we've gotten here and we're still going strong."
