Haim have spoken out about how “no one wanted to sign them” when they started out.The band formed in 2007 and at the time were often told that they wouldn’t “make it”.Speaking in a new interview with Elle UK, Alana said: “The amount of people who were like, ‘You’re never going to make it. Give up!’ We’ve done so many things in our career, despite what people in the industry have said. Being told you’ll never sell out a venue, then you do.
You’ll never headline a festival, and then we do. It fuels the fire.”Danielle added: “People would say to us, ‘You’ll never get a record deal’. A girl rock band, unfortunately, is not something you see.’ People used to say that shit all the time.
But we had such a crazy focus, plus we’re sisters – we’re like a wolf pack.”Their latest comments come after they previously spoke about sexism in the music industry.“We still have to fight this shit,” Alana previously told NME. “The other day, I was told at a radio station, ‘You don’t need headphones. I’m sure you don’t want to mess up your hair.’”“I feel like the one thing that’s happening is we’re all banding together and not letting that shit get us down.
