claiming Fair Use <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use </a>
you are basically allowed to use any other artists work, remix, redo, parody, or even use in it's entity (with your additions, f.ex. your animation + other peoples music).
I'm not sure how it works in other countries than the US however, it's possible that there's a mention in the wiki linked above, or on the official Fair Use page. <a href="http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html">http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.ht ml</a>

All of the above is assuming that you do NOT intend to use the work for any commercial purpose. What the limits are can be shady in some cases, but generally you're not allowed to make money directly from your work that includes other peoples work.

Full credit must be given too.
Check the links for more info.

TL;DR you can`t use music without permission from the artists who made it

Use their music, link to their itunes, link to their cd on amazon, link to their twitter/facebook and give them credit in the credits. IT's pretty much free advertising then and maybe the band will really appreciate it. Just don't make the video too crazy. lol.
