Well i don't think it is a crime to record as Los Hermanos? It never

You're joking, surely? Its long established that you can't use a name
that's already taken to release records (for both legal and moral
reasons).
Would it be ok for a rock band to call themselves U2, as long as they
don't mention Bono or the Edge on the label?
The Los Hermanos of Rolando and Mitchell is trademarked as the label
name, this is an artist who calls himselves Los Hermanos.

well, i would think a lot people shopping for that record or buying
it are lured in by the name, which they associate with the work of
rolando and gerald. thats the basis of trademark infringment
Like i said, the trademark is on the label i think... not the artist.
