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.

In My Eyes
Rufio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down around me in my eyes
You're lovely, your love leaves
So easily in my eyes
Another day left waiting
Alone in my room with no calls from you
So I call you up, but you let me down
I thought that this would never end
Things were so clear but they fell through
High hopes of problems never failed
Thinking of the best
You're graceful, your grace falls
Down around me in my eyes
You're lovely, your love leaves
So easily in my eyes
Another day left crying
With you in my room, with nothing left to do
You say that it's not right
You said it's over now
Stand still annoyed with no one around
I thought that this would never end
Things were so clear but they fell through
High hopes of problems never failed
Thinking of the best
You're graceful, your grace falls
Down around me in my eyes
You're lovely, your love leaves
So easily in my eyes
The lyrics to Rufio's "In My Eyes" depicts a person who is going through a tough time in a romantic relationship. The opening lines, "You're graceful, your grace falls/ Down around me in my eyes/ You're lovely, your love leaves/ So easily in my eyes" signify that the person is still in love with their partner and their partner is still beautiful to them, but their love is not enough to keep the relationship afloat.
The subsequent lines, "Another day left waiting/ Alone in my room with no calls from you/ So I call you up, but you let me down/ Falling down around everyone except yourself" suggest that the person's partner is not reciprocating their love and is not present for them when they need them the most. The lines "High hopes of problems never failed/ Thinking of the best" illustrate the person's lingering hope that things will eventually work out.
As the song progresses, the person's situation worsens, and they are left crying alone in their room with their partner. The lines, "You say that it's not right/ You said it's over now/ Stand still annoyed with no one around" show that their partner has finally ended the relationship, leaving the person feeling alone and unsupported.
Overall, the lyrics to "In My Eyes" show the devastating effects of unrequited love and the struggle to come to terms with a failed relationship.

I'm 36 now. Back then I had a friend who used to love this song as much as I did. Every time we met, we would sing together while we were having fun with all of our other mates from high school. He's passed 2 months ago. It sometimes does not make sense to me we're not teenagers anymore... The band, the skateboard, the gigs, the laughter... Miss you, bro! I'll always come here to see you in this song.
