I was about to drop this link:

And ask if anyone else had seen the film yet?
Pure class.
But as a jazz-funk-rock band I would say that those links u posted are not bad. Traces of Red Sparrowes. I thin the main let down is the production. For me:
1 - they need to be mixed at a reasonable level, instead of trying to make it overtly loud.
2 - the drums are played really well but recorded very poorly and sounds like a sub-par kit. Needs more bass in the drums.
3 - bring the bass up a bit
4 - find a guitar that sounds as percussive but less dry.
then i think it would sound better.
