You cannot.

According to copyright law protection does not extend to names. You could, however, possibly register the name as a trademark.

Is it copyright violation to use another band's song title name as your band name?

It would be copyright if you do the exact band song name, then again, it isn't their band name but a name of a song used in their band. I would, personally, consider it to be fine since a band's song title is different than the band itself. Then again, it's better to come up with your own, though it can be similar or closely related. For example, I wrote a story about a "Fire Crystal" though I changed the name to "Scorching Gem", to make it pretty much the same meaning, but in a different way.
