"to be reckoned with" usually is part of the phrase "a force to be reckoned with"
If you say someone is 'a force to be reckoned with' you are saying they are a formidable opponent or they are a strong personality.

they're a force to be dealt with.. it tells you that something or someone is in a position of power or strength and usually implies some sort of competition is involved..
like if you say that a boxer is a force to be reckoned with, you're saying that his opponents are going to have a tough time beating him..
so in your example, the band is in competition with other bands..
