Everyone is Encouraged to Be the Additional Haim Sisters Sister.

"Any idea when you're speaking to Haim?" a message pops up. "My request was to ask if I can join as their extra sister."

However, there remains one problem: The sender also longs to be Haim's additional sibling. What's more, we are far from alone. A host of famous admirers have publicly coveted the role.

The evidence suggests an irresistible appeal is happening. Sisters Este, Danielle and Alana started their path doing sets at small eateries with their family. Now they're multi-time Grammy contenders.

Similar to the most iconic ensembles, they're a tight-knit gang. Their music videos frequently depict them walking in unison down the roads of Los Angeles. On stage, they jam with such pure exuberance you inevitably think, "I wish to be a piece of that, too."

"The amount of times on tour that young girls came up to us and said, 'Watching you live, I got a guitar'," states Alana, the youngest of the sisters. "It is the greatest honor. That is recognition in itself. Our mission is accomplished if we can encourage people to form a group."

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

Award Milestone

The band are connecting from a break, where they're resting up after an major tour in for their new album, I Quit.

They're presently celebrating the news it's been in the running for a top rock honor at the Grammy Awards – with Haim the first all-woman band ever in the running for the trophy.

"I tune into the nominations every year, so it kind of feels like an out-of-body experience when your name is called," notes Alana. "I immediately called my sisters to say, 'Am I hearing this correctly or am I hallucinating'?"

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

"We deliberately set out to make a rock record this time, so it's a major achievement," adds Alana. "However we're just appreciative for the pioneers that inspired us."

Emotional Upheaval and Laughter

The record was born from a time of personal change. All three sisters were single, and the music explores that unique in-between place where you're happy to be free, but not yet ready to move on.

The themes follow breakups and goodbyes. The sisters seek love, but not the relationships they've experienced. You can hear them working out in real life who they aspire to be.

"I adore summary, yes," responds Danielle. "I Quit is essentially a slogan. You have to make an effort in ignoring the outside opinions and saying, 'I don't give what people think'."

Refinement of Sound

That recent toughness required a new sound – more raw and direct than anything the band had done before.

For Danielle, who worked on producing the album, that was founded on the percussion.

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

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

Stories and Collective Laughter

The trio's honesty inspired the album's promotional campaign, where the sisters revealed some of their romantic horror stories.

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

"During these heartbreaks, 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 even crazier stories, it's therapeutic."

An Assured Legacy

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

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

However the sister act will forever be their number one priority.

"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 thankful we've reached this point and we're still making music."
