All Fans is Welcome to Become the Additional Haim Sister.

"When are you interviewing the band?" a message pops up. "My request was to ask if I can become their extra sister."

However, there remains a single issue: I also wants to be the Haims' newest recruit. And we're in plentiful company. Multiple high-profile supporters have also begged for the role.

One thing is obvious an irresistible appeal is happening. The siblings Este, Danielle and Alana launched their path playing gigs at neighborhood delis with their parents. Today, they are repeated Grammy Award hopefuls.

Like all the best ensembles, they're a close trio. Their music videos often feature them marching in sync down the streets of Los Angeles. In concert, they jam with such boundless happiness you can't help but think, "I wish to be involved in that, too."

"How often on tour that audience members told us and said, 'Watching you live, I bought a drum kit'," remarks Alana, the most junior of the sisters. "That is the ultimate honor. That's an award in itself. We've done our job if we can inspire young girls to start a band."

"So anyone are welcome to be the next part of the family."

Grammy Recognition

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

They're presently celebrating the news it's been nominated for Best Rock Album at the Grammys – with Haim the first female band ever in consideration for the award.

"I follow the lists every year, so it sort of feels like a surreal movie when your name is read out," says Alana. "I had to call my sisters to say, 'Did we just hear this right or am I hallucinating'?"

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

"We deliberately set out to make a rock album this time, so it's a major step," continues Alana. "Yet we're just appreciative for the women that paved the way."

Personal Turmoil and Laughter

The record was born from a time of emotional upheaval. All three sisters ended up single, and the music inhabits that strange transitional period where you're happy to be free, but not quite ready to let go.

The words follow breakups and partings. The sisters seek love, but not the relationships they've experienced. You can hear them determining in real time who they aspire to be.

"I love description, yes," responds Danielle. "I Quit is like a slogan. You have to actively work on shutting out the criticism and saying, 'I couldn't care less what people think'."

Development of Music

That developed toughness called for a different sonic direction – more unpolished and powerful 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 care so much about it," she states.

"'Journey of the drum sound' will be the subject of our biography," jokes Alana. "I've said it, our albums won't commence until we find the ideal drum sound."

Experiences and Shared Camaraderie

The band's honesty fueled the album's promotional campaign, where the sisters disclosed some of their dating misadventures.

One man ended things with Este over a health concern. Alana told a story of flying to celebrate New Year's Eve with someone, only to receive a high five at midnight.

"Experiencing these heartbreaks, you just feel like there's no hope," says Alana. "Thus to be able to find humor in those stories and have them tell you even crazier stories, it's so amazing."

An Assured Legacy

You can clearly sense a shift in the band. These days, Haim are more certain of their position in the rock pantheon.

They're festival headliners, with chart-topping albums and an international fan base.

Yet the sister act will always be their number one commitment.

"We have been performing since I was little," says Alana. "It feels as if nothing else that we were supposed to do. And I'm really fortunate we've made it and we're still making music."
