Why does the band The Neighbourhood use the British spelling "Neighbourhood" rather than the American "Neighborhood"?

According to the wikipedia page on the advice of their manager:

The Neighbourhood was formed in August 2011 by the singer Jesse Rutherford, guitarists Zachary Abels and Jeremiah Freedman, bass guitarist Michael Margott and drummer Bryan "Olivver" Sammis. The members of The Neighbourhood chose the British spelling of "neighbourhood" on the advice of their manager, in order to distinguish themselves from a band already using the American spelling; hence, their song names also use the British spelling.

But if you read closely, there was already another group using the American version, so they likely also did it to avoid any legal hangups of groups using the same moniker.
