As Fast As is an alternative rock band from Portland, Maine, which includes former Rustic Overtones keyboardist Spencer Albee, who along with Haché Horchatta and Zach Jones were members of the power pop group Rocktopus. Their debut album, Open Letter to the Damned was released on Octone Records in May, 2006. The album's hit song "Florida Sunshine" was played on an episode of CSI: Miami,[1] as well as the promotional advertisements for the series.
