Everyone Are Welcome to Be the Extra Haim Sister.

"When are you speaking to Haim?" a message arrives. "I wanted to ask if I can join as their newest bandmate."

There's just a key snag: The sender also wants to be Haim's fourth member. What's more, we are not alone. A host of famous fans have also coveted the position.

The evidence suggests a special quality is happening. Sisters Este, Danielle and Alana started their path performing shows at neighborhood delis with their family. Now they're multi-time Grammy Award contenders.

In the tradition of the most iconic ensembles, they're a inseparable trio. Their music videos repeatedly show them striding in unison down the roads of Los Angeles. In concert, they perform with such unfettered exuberance you can't help but think, "I'd love to be involved in that, too."

"The amount of times on tour that audience members came up to us and said, 'Watching you live, I got a bass'," says Alana, the youngest of the sisters. "That's the ultimate honour. That is recognition in itself. We've done our job if we can motivate others to make music."

"Therefore all gets an invitation to be the next member of Haim."

Historic Nod

The band are connecting from their homes, where they're recovering after an extensive tour in promoting their new album, I Quit.

They're currently processing the news it's been nominated for Best Rock Album at the Grammy Awards – with Haim the pioneering all-female band ever in the running for the prize.

"I watch the nominations every year, so it kind of feels like a surreal movie 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 weight of the accolade isn't lost on the trio.

"We really set out to make a rock record this time, so it's a significant milestone," adds Alana. "But we're just thankful for the women that came before us."

Heartbreak and Candor

The record came out of a phase of transition. All three sisters ended up single, and the music explores that odd transitional period where you're relieved to be free, but not yet ready to move on.

The lyrics detail breakups and goodbyes. The sisters seek love, but not the relationships they've had. You can hear them determining in the moment who they want to be.

"That's a perfect summary, yes," responds Danielle. "I Quit is essentially a slogan. You have to consciously practice blocking the outside opinions and saying, 'I don't give what people think'."

Development of Sound

That developed resilience demanded a new sound – more unpolished and powerful than anything the band had done before.

For Danielle, who worked on producing the album, that began with the drum sound.

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

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

Anecdotes and Shared Camaraderie

The trio's honesty fueled the album's marketing, where the sisters shared some of their personal tales.

One man broke up with Este over a medical concern. Alana shared 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 light," says Alana. "So to be able to share those stories and have them tell you more outrageous stories, it's therapeutic."

A Secure Legacy

One can easily sense a shift in the band. These days, Haim are more confident of their position in the rock pantheon.

They're major draws, with successful albums and an global fan base.

However the sister act will consistently be their primary focus.

"My sisters and I have been making music since I was four," shares Alana. "It's like no other path that we were destined for. And I'm really grateful we've gotten here and we're still going strong."
