Unlike far too many stereotypical depictions of the music industry offered by mainstream media, Rose Cora Perry's popular music insight and advice column, "So You Wanna Be in a Rock Band?" tells the blatant truth demolishing the distorted "overnight success" myths that remain pervasive in society.

Too many artists have fallen victim to these delusions, and too many potentially great songwriters have been left jaded, empty and disillusioned after being spewed out of an industry clothed in a veil that appears to be supportive of new talent, but in reality, would rather earn easy revenue by perpetuating a cycle of sound-a-like artists.
 
Based on both her personal experiences as a frontwoman of two successful independent Canadian rock projects, and as the owner and operator of her own independent record label, complimented by thorough research and interviews with industry veterans, the goal of Perry's column is to offer fellow artists something that she did not have; a realistic portrayal of what they are getting themselves into.
 
Covering topics ranging from booking tours to marketing one's act to industry-related alternative sources of revenue to current trends, the driving force behind her column: is to educate, provoke thought, and hopefully teach others not to accept things simply at their face value.
