All Fans is Invited to Join as the Additional Haim Sisters Member.

"Any idea when you're chatting with the Haim sisters?" a message reads. "My request was to ask if I can become their fourth member."

However, there remains a key snag: The author likewise wants to be the Haims' additional sibling. What's more, we are in plentiful company. Multiple high-profile supporters have also petitioned for the position.

The evidence suggests an irresistible appeal is going on. Sisters Este, Danielle and Alana launched their path doing sets at neighborhood delis with their parents. Presently, they stand as multiple Grammy Award nominees.

Similar to the greatest groups, they're a close trio. Their videos frequently show them marching in sync down the roads of Los Angeles. On stage, they perform with such unfettered exuberance you inevitably think, "I want to be involved in that, too."

"How often on tour that young girls told us and said, 'After your show, I got a bass'," says Alana, the most junior of the sisters. "That's the ultimate honor. That's an award in itself. We've done our job if we can motivate people to start a band."

"So all is invited to be the fourth Haim sister."

Historic Recognition

The band are speaking from home, where they're resting up after an lengthy tour in promoting their new album, I Quit.

They're currently processing the news it's been shortlisted for best rock album at the Grammys – with Haim the pioneering all-woman band ever in consideration for the trophy.

"I tune into the lists every year, so it almost feels like an out-of-body experience when your name is called," explains Alana. "I had to call my sisters to say, 'Did I hear this right or am I hallucinating'?"

The importance of the honor is deeply felt by the sisters.

"We truly set out to make a rock record this time, so it's a major milestone," says Alana. "But we're just appreciative for the female artists that came before us."

Heartbreak and Laughter

The project came out of a period of transition. All three sisters found themselves single, and the music captures that unique liminal space where you're relieved to be free, but not entirely ready to let go.

The lyrics detail departures and farewells. The sisters want love, but not the relationships they've experienced. You can hear them determining in real life who they aspire to be.

"That's a perfect summary, yes," responds Danielle. "I Quit is essentially a personal statement. You have to actively work on shutting out the outside opinions and saying, 'I don't give what people think'."

Refinement of Style

That developed resilience demanded a different sonic direction – more organic and direct than any of the music the band had done before.

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

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

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

Stories and Collective Humor

The band's openness shaped the album's marketing, where the sisters revealed some of their dating tales.

Someone left Este over a medical concern. Alana recalled a story of flying to celebrate New Year's Eve with someone, only to receive a high five at midnight.

"Experiencing these breakups, you just feel like there's only darkness," says Alana. "Thus to be able to laugh at those stories and hear others tell you wilder stories, it's incredible."

A Confident Path

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

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

However the band will consistently be their top commitment.

"Me and my siblings have been playing music since I was four," says Alana. "It's like no other path that we were supposed to do. And I'm really fortunate we've made it and we're still going strong."
