All Fans is Welcome to Be the Extra Haim Sisters Member.

"Do you know when you'll be interviewing the Haim sisters?" an inquiry arrives. "My request was to ask if I can become their newest bandmate."

There's just one problem: I also wants to be Haim's fourth member. Furthermore, we are not alone. Multiple celebrated supporters have openly begged for the honor.

The evidence suggests something is going on. Sisters Este, Danielle and Alana started their career performing shows at neighborhood delis with their parents. Presently, they stand as multi-time Grammy Award contenders.

In the tradition of the most iconic ensembles, they're a close trio. Their visuals often depict them striding in unison down the avenues of Los Angeles. On stage, they play with such pure joy you find yourself thinking, "I wish to be involved in that, too."

"The numerous instances on tour that young girls approached us and said, 'After your show, I got a drum kit'," remarks Alana, the youngest of the sisters. "That's the greatest honor. That is recognition in itself. Our mission is accomplished if we can inspire others to form a group."

"And thus anyone gets an invitation to be the honorary Haim sister."

Award Nod

The trio are connecting from their homes, where they're taking a pause after an lengthy tour in promoting their new album, I Quit.

They're right now processing the news it's been in the running for best rock album at the Grammys – with Haim the very first all-woman band ever in contention for the trophy.

"I watch the lists every year, so it almost feels like an out-of-body experience when your name is read out," says Alana. "I had to call my sisters to say, 'Am I hearing this right or am I hallucinating'?"

The significance of the accolade isn't lost on the sisters.

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

Emotional Upheaval and Humour

The record was born from a time of emotional upheaval. All three sisters were single, and the music inhabits that strange transitional period where you're relieved to be free, but not quite ready to start anew.

The lyrics detail endings and farewells. The sisters want love, but not the kind of love they've got. You can hear them determining in the moment who they are becoming.

"That's a perfect way of putting it, yes," responds Danielle. "I Quit is like a slogan. You have to consciously practice ignoring the noise and saying, 'I couldn't care less what people think'."

Refinement of Style

That recent confidence required a different sonic direction – more raw and immediate than anything the band had done before.

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

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

"'Journey of the drum sound' will be the name of our biography," laughs Alana. "I've said it, our albums cannot begin until we find the ideal drum sound."

Experiences and Shared Camaraderie

The band's candor fueled the album's marketing, where the sisters disclosed some of their romantic horror stories.

A former partner broke up with Este over a medical concern. Alana shared a story of flying to spend New Year's Eve with someone, only to receive a friendly slap at midnight.

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

A Confident Future

It's not difficult sense a shift in the band. These days, Haim are more certain of their standing in the rock pantheon.

They're major draws, with chart-topping albums and an global audience.

However the band will consistently be their primary commitment.

"Me and my siblings have been playing music since I was a young child," shares Alana. "There is no alternative that we were meant to do. And I'm really grateful we've gotten here and we're still going strong."
