Rufio released their debut recording in 2001 on The Militia Group label, Perhaps, I Suppose. The band returned in June 2003 with MCMLXXXV (released on the Nitro label), which was recorded with the aid of producer Nick Rasculinecz who has also recorded with Foo Fighters and Rancid. Rufio went on to play on the Warped Tour that summer following the release of their second album. Their third album The Comfort of Home was released in July 2005. Again, the band went on to join tour that fall with MxPx and Relient K after the "The Comfort of Home" release.
In late January, 2006 bassist Jon Berry and drummer Mike Jimenez left the ban due to creative differences. Following the loss of these two members the band pulled out of their tour with No Use For A Name in early 2006. While no official statement had then been made regarding a breakup, in a 2006 interview, No Use for a Name acknowledged as much.
On Thursday 5th April 2007 the band announced on their MySpace page that they were to have an official farewell show on June 1st 2007 at The Glass House, Pomona CA followed by a South American tour. The statement in full reads: "Farewell show and South American tour. well... its been a while friends... and we've finally decided that its time to do an official farewell show with all the members of Rufio on June 1st. We thought it would be a good way to show our appreciation to all our hometown friends and fans who have supported us from the very beginning. We figured the Glasshouse would be a very appropriate venue to host the show and we hope to see ALLLL of you there! we'll be playing a variety of songs, and even oldies we rarely play! Its going to be a sad night but it also means the birth of new projects and new music! We're also going down to South America in june for one last hoorah. we're very excited about this. there are some shows posted right now, and more will be posted later. we cant wait to party with you crazy south americans! come party with us one last time! Love, Rufio."
On Tuesday, August 4th 2009, Rufio posted a myspace blog announcing that they were already in the midst of a new C.D.
Rufio released their newest EP on January 19, 2010. It is titled, "The Loneliest EP," and it features four brand new tracks. Released through The Militia Group, the tracks include "All That Lasts," and "The Loneliest." The other tracks are acoustic versions of the previous two songs. New members of Rufio include Taylor Albaugh (bass) and Terry Stirling (drums).
On July 27, 2010, Rufio released their 4th album, Anybody Out There. This was followed by worldwide touring. In October 2010, Clark Domae announced that he was leaving the band to pursue other projects. In April 2011, Terry Stirling Jr. left Rufio to pursue other endeavors.
In July 2012, Rufio officially broke up. The band played a one-off reunion show on June 18, 2015, at the Montebello Amnesia Rockfest.

Rufio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For some popularity, but what am I?
She said I want you by my side
To impress all above, but it's true love
Use your mind you dipshit
I'm wondering why not just let me live, on my own
On my own
Don't struggle, waste your energy, they're wrong
What they said is wrong
And this silence calms my ears
Over and over I hear your voice
Calling out my name
It's all jealousy
You're adding questions to nothing
You try to figure out our lives
It's ours you want to live
Hold your tongue you dipshit
Your suffering is wearing through
There are changes in your face
And asking for love isn't too much
Get a life and get another one to talk about
Wrong, what they said is wrong
Don't struggle, waste your energy, they're wrong
What they said is wrong
And this silence calms my ears
The lyrics to Rufio's 'Dipshit', appear to be about people who try to manipulate and control others for their own selfish reasons. In the opening verse, the singer is questioning the motives of someone who wants their heart for popularity, highlighting the irony that the request seems to undermine the genuine nature of love. The second verse talks about someone wanting the singer by their side to impress others, but again the singer questions whether there is any true love involved.
The refrain "Use your mind you dipshit" seems to be aimed at those who are trying to control the singer, urging them to think about why they are doing so and perhaps suggesting that it's not productive for anyone involved. The singer then encourages the controllers to let them live their own life and not try to figure out their plans or motives.
The final verse appears to focus on jealousy and people who are trying to add questions or problems to situations without reason. The refrain is repeated with a slight variation, asking the controllers to hold their tongue and stop the suffering that their manipulation is causing. The song ends with the singer encouraging the controllers to find something else to talk about instead of meddling in other people's lives.

The lead singer of Rufio and the lead singer of New Found Glory sound nearly exactly the same.
Men Madegod
Beyond even the small deaths of life which are legion and make me forget that even I am an imperfect atmosphere, lie simple songs like this with electric tongues they insist, "Burn through every kiss of time."
