The World Are Welcome to Become the Extra Haim Sisters Bandmate.

"Any idea when you're interviewing the band?" a message reads. "I was hoping to ask if I can join as their fourth member."

There is only one problem: The author likewise wants to be the Haims' fourth member. Furthermore, we are not alone. A host of high-profile fans have publicly begged for the honor.

One thing is obvious a special quality is at play. Sisters Este, Danielle and Alana launched their musical journey doing sets at small eateries with their parents. Presently, they stand as repeated Grammy Award hopefuls.

Similar to the best ensembles, they're a inseparable trio. Their visuals often depict them striding in harmony down the roads of Los Angeles. On stage, they jam with such boundless joy you find yourself thinking, "I'd love to be a piece of that, too."

"The numerous instances on tour that audience members came up to us and said, 'Seeing you perform, I picked up a drum kit'," remarks Alana, the most junior of the sisters. "That is the biggest honour. That is recognition in itself. We've done our job if we can motivate people to form a group."

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

Award Nod

The group have called into a break, where they're resting up after an lengthy tour in for their latest album, I Quit.

They're presently processing the news it's been nominated for best rock album at the Grammys – with Haim the pioneering female band ever in consideration for the prize.

"I tune into the lists every year, so it kind of feels like The Truman Show when your name is called," says Alana. "I needed to phone my sisters to say, 'Am I hearing this right or am I dreaming'?"

The importance of the nomination isn't lost on the band.

"We really set out to make a guitar-driven album this time, so it's a major milestone," says Alana. "However we're just appreciative for the women that paved the way."

Heartbreak and Laughter

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

The lyrics follow endings and partings. The sisters seek love, but not the relationships they've got. You can hear them figuring out in real time who they are becoming.

"That's a perfect description, yes," says Danielle. "I Quit is kind of like a mantra. You have to actively work on blocking the outside opinions and saying, 'I couldn't care less what people think'."

Refinement of Sound

That recent resilience called for a new sound – more unpolished and powerful than any of the music the band had done before.

For Danielle, who co-produced the album, that began with the drum sound.

"Drums are such a nuanced thing, and I care so much about it," she says.

"'Journey of the drum sound' will be the subject of our book," quips Alana. "I always say, our albums cannot begin until we find the perfect drum sound."

Experiences and Shared Humor

The trio's honesty shaped the album's rollout, where the sisters revealed some of their romantic tales.

A former partner ended things with Este over a medical concern. Alana told a story of travelling to celebrate New Year's Eve with someone, only to receive a casual gesture at midnight.

"Experiencing these setbacks, you just feel like there's no hope," says Alana. "Thus to be able to share those stories and hear others tell you more outrageous stories, it's incredible."

An Assured Legacy

You can clearly sense a change in the band. Today, Haim are more assured of their place in the music world.

They're top-billed acts, with successful albums and an global fan base.

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

"We have been performing since I was four," shares Alana. "It's like nothing else that we were destined for. And I'm really thankful we've made it and we're still making music."
