Everyone is Encouraged to Join as the Extra Haim Sisters Sister.

"Any idea when you're speaking to the band?" a text reads. "I was hoping to ask if I can become their extra sister."

However, there remains a single issue: The sender also desires to be Haim's fourth member. Furthermore, we are not alone. Multiple famous supporters have openly begged for the role.

It's clear something is at play. The siblings Este, Danielle and Alana began their path doing sets at local delicatessens with their family. Today, they are multiple Grammy Award hopefuls.

Similar to the most iconic groups, they're a tight-knit trio. Their videos repeatedly feature them walking in harmony down the roads of Los Angeles. On stage, they play with such unfettered joy you can't help but think, "I'd love to be a piece of that, too."

"The amount of times on tour that audience members told us and said, 'After your show, I bought a guitar'," remarks Alana, the most junior of the trio. "That's the ultimate compliment. That's an award in itself. We have succeeded if we can encourage young girls to make music."

"Therefore anyone gets an invitation to be the next part of the family."

Grammy Recognition

The group have called into their homes, where they're recovering after an extensive tour in promoting their fourth album, I Quit.

They're currently reeling from the news it's been nominated for a top rock honor at the Grammy Awards – with Haim the pioneering female band ever in contention for the trophy.

"I watch the nominations every year, so it sort of feels like an out-of-body experience when your name is announced," notes Alana. "I immediately called my sisters to say, 'Am I hearing this right or am I imagining things'?"

The weight of the nomination is deeply felt by the trio.

"We truly set out to make a rock record this time, so it's a significant milestone," adds Alana. "However we're just thankful for the pioneers that paved the way."

Emotional Upheaval and Humour

The album emerged from a time of transition. All three sisters were single, and the music inhabits that strange transitional period where you're happy to be free, but not entirely ready to move on.

The themes follow endings and partings. The sisters desire 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 like a mantra. You have to make an effort in blocking the outside opinions and saying, 'I don't give what people think'."

Evolution of Music

That newfound toughness required a fresh approach – more raw and immediate than any of the music the band had done before.

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

"Drums are such a nuanced thing, and I focus so intensely about it," she states.

"'Journey of the drum sound' will be the name of our book," laughs Alana. "Our motto is, our albums cannot begin until we find the ideal drum sound."

Experiences and Collective Humor

The trio's honesty inspired the album's rollout, where the sisters revealed some of their romantic misadventures.

Someone 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.

"During these heartbreaks, you just feel like there's no light," explains Alana. "Therefore to be able to laugh at those stories and have them tell you even crazier stories, it's incredible."

A Secure Legacy

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

They're top-billed acts, with hit albums and an international audience.

Yet the band will always be their top commitment.

"We have been performing since I was a young child," shares Alana. "There is nothing else that we were supposed to do. And I'm really thankful we've gotten here and we're still going strong."
