“If they could be as big as the Dixie Chicks they'd love it,“ Toni McClymont says.
“But people may expect to go to their shows and think they'll be the same as the Dixie Chicks - but they're not.” Although the girls' genre is country, they definitely have a more contemporary sound to their music.
“The girls just want people to call it music, they don't want to be pigeon-holed,” Toni McClymont says.

The McClymonts, made up of three sisters, Brooke, Sam and Mollie, are being painted as the poster girls of contemporary Australian country music. Marketed as the the bush met with Sex and the City, the three sisters have been greeted with enthusiasm and open arms by the Australian country music community (as demonstrated by their four CMAA nominations) .
However, with their success and even their sound, one has to wonder whether they are towing the line between country and pop so carefully for the right reasons as they seemingly do not want to risk being put in the same category with Lee Kernaghan, Slim Dusty and Steve Forde at the cost of a potential crossover into the pop world.
With beautiful harmonies, strong hooks and drive, these girls definitely have a bright future ahead of them. However, if that success is going to be found in the world of country music, that has yet to be determined.
