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.
