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.

Road to Recovery
Rufio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And show him a feeling he's always dreamed of.
She didn't plan on falling in love.
Upset the balance she's wanted so long.
This road to reovery
Has taken all i have.
As I try
To succum once again...again...
Well he lost control and gave up his heart.
To follow the girl that he's always dreamed of.
She pulled away so scared of a love
That might have been more than she had planned on.
This road to reovery
Has taken all i have.
It seems hard
As I try
To succum once again...again...
Well love is a bitch all relationships end.
What happens now
When that persons gone.
The one who you thought
You could always count on.
You fall in love
And they fall out.
Love is a bitch.
All realationships end.
How do i let go of a love
That meant so much to me.
How do i go on
When your part of me.
I'm dying inside
Each time i see you.
Don't lose sight of me
Cause yer all i see.
Your still all i see.
This road to recovery has taken all i have.
The lyrics to Rufio's song "Road to Recovery" delve into the complexities of love and relationships, and how they can cause great turmoil and heartache. The song's first few lines highlight the idea that love can come unexpectedly and shake up one's life. The singer, unnamed, never anticipated someone coming into his life who could make him feel something he's always wanted, leaving him vulnerable and open. Meanwhile, the girl in question never thought she would fall in love, but now that she has, it's disrupted the sense of balance she's been seeking for some time.
The chorus, "This road to recovery/Has taken all I have/It seems hard/As I try/To succumb once again...again..." suggests that the singer is attempting to grapple with the aftermath of a falling-out and maybe even a breakup. The process of moving forward from heartbreak is difficult and draining, and the chorus depicts the emotional agony that comes with attempting to heal.
As the song progresses, we learn that the singer had followed his heart and gave it up to be with the girl he always dreamed of, but she ultimately pulled away out of fear and uncertainty. The lyrics "What happens now/When that person's gone?/The one who you thought/You could always count on" expresses the universal feeling of isolation after a major breakup or falling out, when the one person you thought would be with you through thick and thin has suddenly upended your life.
Overall, "Road to Recovery" is a heartfelt and raw rendering of the pain of heartbreak and the arduous process of rebuilding oneself afterward.
