Just read about them and listened to two of their songs here:

www.theguardian.com/music/2013/sep/22/haim-sisters-days-gone-interview

Love their sound, their look (real young women looking amazing). They are the anti-Miley!

they remind me of the female version of Hanson (not the music)

LaundryFairy · 22/09/2013 09:58

I agree - the siblings playing in a band thing especially - but the music is a world apart!

I think they are so cool for being themselves and not trying to look like clones of other female performers.

Love them too

Love them. The bassist is renowned for her 'bass face', seen in full glory on the Later... With Jools Holland show a few months back. Some wag modified it. Pretty funny.

Shit. How do I do a link on the app?

LaundryFairy · 22/09/2013 10:05

I know they won't be everyone's cup of tea, Everlong (what music is?). Still think they are a breath of fresh air.

Oh. Same as website Blush

DangoDays · 22/09/2013 10:09

Love them. Saw them this summer.

LaundryFairy · 22/09/2013 10:10

V Funny, Nagasaki Grin. The feminist side of me does wonder though if anyone would even bat an eye at a bloke with a 'bass face'...

OP posts:
Nagasaki · 22/09/2013 10:12

I think her 'bass face' is so errr... "vibrant" Grin that if it was a man, you would still notice it!

I'm afraid I got as far as "Dad was like..." in the first link.

Second link is hilarious, but the bits of them that I can hear sound awful tbh.

I like their look. Song leaves me a bit cold though.

diddl · 22/09/2013 10:58

What's so special about their "look"?

Strikes me as generic "rock chick"?

I LOVE them. Going to see them in December and so excited about it.

I easily have that much hair, maybe I should stop styling it.

They get a lot of Fleetwood Mac comparisons, they remind me more of the Bangles.

Estes bass face is awesome but I'm with you, many male bassists have them and no one bats an eyelid.

thehorsedentist · 22/09/2013 18:04

I can't stand them!
As a pretty standard 20 ish, feminist, bass playing rock chick myself, they in no way inspire other women.
Awful songwriting, sloppy musicians with lank and greasy hair. They always are so bloody miserable and come across as being pretentious.

I've liked them a good while now - really cool, talented, creative women!
