Makes no difference how long they've had it.
They are a small band in the U.S. , while the other is a small band in the UK it's hardly likely that one is going to get booked for a gig in confusion with the other.
There were bands called The Charlatans & Suede in the U.S. before the 2 English bands took those names , In both cases the UK bands were referred to as Charlatans UK & Suede London in the U.S so as not to confuse them with the American bands. The rest of the world they got to keep the original name.
