All Fans is Encouraged to Join as the Additional Haim Sisters Bandmate.

"When are you speaking to the Haim sisters?" a message pops up. "My request was to ask if I can join as their newest bandmate."

There's just a single issue: The author likewise wants to be the Haims' additional sibling. What's more, we are far from alone. Multiple famous supporters have also petitioned for the position.

One thing is obvious an irresistible appeal is going on. The siblings Este, Danielle and Alana began their career performing shows at neighborhood delis with their parents. Presently, they stand as multi-time Grammy Award contenders.

Similar to the greatest bands, they're a tight-knit trio. Their music videos often feature them marching in sync down the roads of Los Angeles. During performances, they play with such pure joy you inevitably think, "I'd love to be a piece of that, too."

"The amount of times on tour that audience members approached us and said, 'Watching you live, I bought a guitar'," says Alana, the most junior of the trio. "That is the greatest compliment. It is a prize in itself. We've done our job if we can motivate people to make music."

"So everyone are welcome to be the honorary member of Haim."

Award Milestone

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

They're right now reeling from the news it's been nominated for a top rock honor at the Grammys – with Haim the pioneering all-female band ever in contention for the prize.

"I watch the lists every year, so it almost feels like an out-of-body experience when your name is called," notes Alana. "I immediately called my sisters to say, 'Did we just hear this right or am I imagining things'?"

The importance of the accolade isn't lost on the band.

"We truly set out to make a rock record this time, so it's a significant achievement," continues Alana. "Yet we're just thankful for the women that inspired us."

Personal Turmoil and Laughter

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

The themes detail departures and partings. The sisters want love, but not the relationships they've had. You can hear them figuring out in real life who they aspire to be.

"I love description, yes," says Danielle. "I Quit is like a personal statement. You have to consciously practice shutting out the outside opinions and saying, 'It doesn't matter to me what people think'."

Development of Style

That recent toughness required a new sound – more raw and powerful than any of the music the band had done before.

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

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

"'Journey of the drum sound' will be the subject of our biography," laughs Alana. "Our motto is, our albums don't start until we find the ideal drum sound."

Anecdotes and Shared Humor

The trio's honesty inspired the album's marketing, where the sisters revealed some of their dating horror stories.

One man ended things with Este over a health concern. 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," notes Alana. "Therefore to be able to find humor in those stories and have them tell you more outrageous stories, it's therapeutic."

An Assured Legacy

One can easily sense a evolution in the band. Today, Haim are more assured of their place in the rock pantheon.

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

Yet Haim will consistently be their primary commitment.

"My sisters and I have been playing music since I was a young child," says 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."
