This is another tricky one. While you wouldn't be selling your show reel and making money directly from it, you would be using your show reel to promote yourself and generate (paid) bookings. It might be worth stressing this to the band in writing and to see what they come back with.
I couldn't get hold of the appropriate license to use the commercial track I'd hoped to use for my online show reel. As a result I messaged friend in a band and negotiated terms to use one of his tracks. I think offering to credit the band at the beginning rather than the end of the show reel helped sway the deal
