The World Are Welcome to Be the Extra Haim Sisters Sister.

"Any idea when you're chatting with the band?" a text arrives. "My request was to ask if I can become their newest bandmate."

There is only one problem: The sender also desires to be the Haims' additional sibling. Furthermore, we are far from alone. A host of famous fans have publicly coveted the honor.

One thing is obvious an irresistible appeal is at play. Sisters Este, Danielle and Alana launched their musical journey doing sets at local delicatessens with their parents. Now they're multi-time Grammy Award nominees.

In the tradition of the most iconic groups, they're a inseparable gang. Their music videos frequently show them striding in harmony down the avenues of Los Angeles. During performances, they jam with such boundless joy you can't help but think, "I'd love to be involved in that, too."

"The amount of times on tour that audience members approached us and said, 'Seeing you perform, I bought a guitar'," states Alana, the most junior of the sisters. "That is the biggest honor. That's an award in itself. Our mission is accomplished if we can inspire young girls to form a group."

"And thus everyone are welcome to be the fourth member of Haim."

Grammy Recognition

The band have called into home, where they're resting up after an major 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 very first all-woman band ever in the running for the award.

"I follow the nominations 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 I hear this right or am I imagining things'?"

The significance of the nomination resonates with the sisters.

"We really set out to make a rock record this time, so it's a huge milestone," says Alana. "However we're just grateful for the female artists that paved the way."

Personal Turmoil and Laughter

The project came out of a phase of transition. All three sisters were single, and the music captures that odd transitional period where you're glad to be free, but not yet ready to start anew.

The lyrics track departures and partings. The sisters seek love, but not the specific love they've got. You can hear them figuring out in real life who they aspire to be.

"I love summary, yes," says Danielle. "I Quit is essentially a mantra. You have to actively work on shutting out the criticism and saying, 'I couldn't care less what people think'."

Evolution of Sound

That recent resilience required a fresh approach – more unpolished and immediate than anything the band had done before.

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

"The drum sound is such a specific thing, and I am so passionate about it," she says.

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

Anecdotes and Shared Laughter

The band's honesty shaped the album's marketing, where the sisters shared some of their romantic tales.

One man left Este over a medical concern. Alana told a story of flying to celebrate New Year's Eve with someone, only to receive a friendly slap at midnight.

"During these setbacks, you just feel like there's no light," says Alana. "So to be able to find humor in those stories and have them tell you wilder stories, it's so amazing."

A Confident Legacy

One can easily sense a shift in the band. Today, Haim are more assured of their place in the music world.

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

But the sister act will always be their top focus.

"My sisters and I have been making music since I was four," says Alana. "It's like no other path that we were supposed to do. And I'm really fortunate we've reached this point and we're still going strong."
