Bands are a business entity whether you do it for just the love of music or the thrill of the gig. Bands have business interests that must be decided in writing. Issues such as ownership of the lyrics, the music, the performance rights, the band's name, the band logo and merchandise must be decided in writing; otherwise, everybody owns everything equally. 

In this day of digital distribution, recording companies and recording contracts are going the way of the dinosaur and bands need to know how to exploit their music, get paid, and without losing rights to their music. Make sure you protect the things you've worked so hard to create and get fairly compensated for your work.
