Sidetracked with Annie and Nick

• Sidetracked with HAIM

  Nick is joined by Alana, Danielle and Este Haim to discuss their weeks in music. HAIM are the first all-female rock band to be nominated for Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards, they’ve collaborated with everyone from Taylor Swift to Stevie Nicks, and next month they’ll release their fourth studio album “I Quit”. As they tick off their first festival of the season, the sisters look back on Glastonbury’s gone by and the lengths (and step count) Alana has gone to for a crush. Elsewhere, things get nostalgic as they share stories of prom night and sneaking out the house – but what songs instantly transport them back to adolescence? Plus, the lies they told their parents, a Kate Moss inspired cameo by Addison Rae and the first time they met Nick. Get in touch with Annie and Nick!
