All Fans is Invited to Join as the Extra Haim Sisters Sister.

"Any idea when you're chatting with the band?" a message pops up. "My request was to ask if I can join as their fourth member."

There is only one problem: I also desires to be the Haims' additional sibling. What's more, we are not alone. Several celebrated supporters have also begged for the role.

It's clear a special quality is going on. Sisters Este, Danielle and Alana started their path playing gigs at small eateries with their parents. Presently, they stand as repeated Grammy hopefuls.

In the tradition of the most iconic ensembles, they're a close unit. Their visuals frequently show them marching in unison down the streets of Los Angeles. On stage, they perform with such unfettered joy you can't help but think, "I'd love to be involved in that, too."

"How often on tour that audience members approached us and said, 'Seeing you perform, I got a guitar'," says Alana, the youngest of the Haim siblings. "That's the greatest compliment. That is recognition in itself. We've done our job if we can motivate others to start a band."

"So all gets an invitation to be the fourth Haim sister."

Award Nod

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

They're currently celebrating the news it's been in the running for a top rock honor at the Grammy Awards – with Haim the first female band ever in consideration for the trophy.

"I watch the announcements every year, so it sort of feels like an out-of-body experience when your name is announced," says Alana. "I immediately called my sisters to say, 'Did we just hear this right or am I dreaming'?"

The significance of the accolade resonates with the band.

"We truly set out to make a rock record this time, so it's a significant achievement," says Alana. "Yet we're just thankful for the female artists that paved the way."

Personal Turmoil and Humour

The project was born from a time of emotional upheaval. All three sisters were single, and the music captures that odd transitional period where you're relieved to be free, but not quite ready to move on.

The lyrics track departures and farewells. The sisters want love, but not the kind of love they've experienced. You can hear them figuring out in real time who they aspire to be.

"That's a perfect description, yes," says Danielle. "I Quit is essentially a mantra. You have to make an effort in ignoring the noise and saying, 'It doesn't matter to me what people think'."

Refinement of Sound

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

For Danielle, who helped produce the album, that was founded on the percussion.

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

"'Journey of the drum sound' will be the subject of our memoir," laughs Alana. "I always say, our albums won't commence until we find the ideal drum sound."

Experiences and Shared Humor

The band's candor inspired the album's promotional campaign, where the sisters revealed some of their personal horror stories.

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

"During these breakups, you just feel like there's no hope," explains Alana. "So to be able to find humor in those stories and hear others tell you wilder stories, it's incredible."

A Confident Path

One can easily sense a evolution in the band. Today, Haim are more assured of their position in the industry.

They're festival headliners, with chart-topping albums and an global following.

Yet Haim will forever be their top priority.

"Me and my siblings have been performing since I was little," concludes Alana. "It's like no alternative that we were meant to do. And I'm really thankful we've made it and we're still going strong."
