I agree with you on your comments on Bitter:Sweet. Their music is spotty but on a few occasions they hit the mark. Their best songs are the ones that sound like themes from old 60's movie soundtracks. Bitter:Sweet also has a lot of competition from other bands who also do that sort of music.
Another group, the Postmarks were good enough at 60s themed soundtrack music to have one their songs considered as the opening theme for the 2006 Bond movie, Casino Royale.
I managed to find a copy of the alternative opening credits for Casino Royale shot with the Postmarks' song No One Said This Would Be Easy . Unfortunately the movie's producers selected Chris Connell's You Know My Name as the opening track for Casino Royale, even though the Postmark's song is better. The digital animation on the Postmark's alternate version of the Casino Royale opening theme is fantastic.
