what do you consider the most correct capitalization of Frech artist (i.e. group) names? Following the style guide or capitalizing all words?
I am just looking at La Société elle a mauvaise haleine which does not fit either scheme because the name is a full sentence, and according to the style guide, “société” would not be capitalized in that case (see the conditions to exception A).
I agree with jesus2099. And there is no evidence of artist intent for the capitalization (as there are both all letters caps and all words caps on their website). You can follow the rules even for punk artists!
I second that, because it is a verb phrase, that can be read as “La société a mauvaise haleine”, “Elle” is somehow redundant (Elle = La société) and is purely stylistic.
