In theory, yes. In practice, no. Recording companies begin running into all sorts or copyright issues when you try to use a previous bands' name.

Is it legal to form a band with a band name that already exists if you spell it or capitalize it differently?
The answer to this question will depend on whether or not the first band has registered their name as a trademark or not and whether they are famous. If they have registered their name with the trademark office and are complying with the rules of holding on to their trademark then you cannot use the name even if spelled differently. If you choose to use the name and it has not been previously registered, the original band (if they are famous) can still sue you and keep you from using the name. The trademark office will have to decide who used the name first, who is more associated with the name in the view of the general public (aka the famous band) and so forth. So you could end up being forced to change your name and confuse potential fans.
Which one is correct the band which or the band who?
"The band that..." is your best choice here. "Who" is usually preferred for a singular subject or for a collective noun used as a name. Example of a singular subject: Rosa Parks, who was a legendary civil rights pioneer, died in 2005. Example of a band's name, used as a collective noun: The Beatles, who were a popular band during the 1960s, still sound great today. When referring to things, we use "that"-- the table that he bought cost $200. While a band may be made up of people, unless the band is named, you would use "that." The band that I like best is Rush.

Can i use a music band name on my clothing brand For example the name of the band is Distance and i want to put Distance or distance no.10. Can i do this or i need to take copyrights?
If the band is well known and/or holds a copyright on their name, you will need to get formal permission to use their name. Usually this is done when they license you to use their name and likeness through a legal document.If they are an unknown band you *could* risk using the name, yet if they don't agree with you using their name for your clothing brand they may take legal action against you. The safest thing to do is to ask them...
