Haim cover Miley Cyrus in the Live Lounge

Five days before their debut album comes out, Haim paid a visit to Radio 1's Live Lounge for a timely spot of promo. They were tweeted live on air by Isaac "Mmmbop" Hanson, prompting Este to disclose the fact she and Taylor Hanson share a birthday: 14th March, or 3.14 if you're American.

"It's Pi day," she noted. "And I do eat pies on my birthday." Maybe you had to be there.

Getting down to business, the trio knocked off their current single, The Wire, before ploughing headlong into a jittery cover of Miley's Wrecking Ball. "We're not afraid to say we love Miley," noted Alana.

It may not be perfect, but it's a hell of a lot of fun. Listen below.



PS: There are loads of shots of the session over on the Radio 1 website, including this one of the band's lyrics cribsheet.

EDIT: Here's the video.
