Essentially, the band technically has the right to not sell merchandise, but if they don't thier lives are going to be raped which really means it's not that much of a choice. The companies expect a lot of money and it will rarely be fulfilled without selling merch.

Yes they do and it's already been said , sign with an independent.
If their music isn't on TV or Radio or is only known by fans of that genre like you have already stated , then it has to be said that major label is doing nothing for them.
