This is kinda off topic but if your boys are the ones writting the songs I would really make sure who owns the rights to the music, im not sure how ya do this outside of Australia, but since their parents dont care and chances are might wanna protect their boys incase all goes to hell, its best to protect your boys and copyright all written material in their name.
You can cut the other boys free and possibly not have to pay them any royalties...if the demo is picked up and signed by a record label 99% chance they will have to record it all over again, aslong as the original demo is never released no royalties are due. We recorded 6 tracks many moons ago and later cut loose a band member, never had to pay him a cent since the material written and recorded wasnt in his name.
One worrying thing is that there are already financial issues before first demo is done, this will only continue. I would look into independant management to protect all the boys involved.
