No italics, underline, quotes, nothing. It’s just a proper noun, like a person’s name. Capitalize only.

Capitalizing every word in the band name ought to be sufficient.
If the essay deals with a particular music scene, or genre, you might want to consider putting band names in bold, whenever you mention a group/performer, for the first time. (I’ve seen that formatting used in rock magazines, on some occassions. Especially for retrospective-type pieces. But I don’t think it’s a standard practice.)
