coerción

My comment:

the context resembles the term used for 'coercing' as defined by merriam-webster so it should be the appropiate use:

... was originally named Mariachi “Alacran”, but due to some arm-twisting by the members, in the spring....

pero debido a la **coercion ** de los miembros

My references:

Merriam Webster definitions
www.m-w.com:

arm twisting:
: the use of direct personal pressure in order to achieve a desired end


coerce:
to cause (a person) to give in to pressure
