Rufio is a pop punk band from Rancho Cucamonga, California. All the members of the band went to the same high school together. The band was formed when original bassist Jon Berry was in freshman year in college and the other three band members were in the final year of high school. The other three band members are Scott Sellers (Vocals/Guitar), Mike Jimenez (Drums), and Clark Domae (Guitar). Guitar players Scott and Clark were acquaintances at young ages as they grew up together. Scott then met lead bassist Jon Berry, and they began playing together immediately in various groups and sessions, as well as purchasing a 4-track to record there songs they have written together. After Berry and Scott began recording music, they asked Mike to play drums for them and listen to there recordings. Shortly after the addition of Mike, Clark then joined and the band was formed. Rufio isn’t your normal angry at the world or depressed with life punk group. They play together for the basic satisfaction of playing music with peers and exposing themselves to the public. The band gets their name from the character Rufio, one of the Lost Boys from the Peter Pan "sequel" Hook

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 there 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.

Rufio is similar to a few modern day bands, such as Blink-182 and Sum 41. In late January, 2006 bassist Jon Berry and drummer Mike Jimenez left the band, then later started a new band called Science Fiction Theatre. 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 has been made regarding a breakup, in a recent interview No Use For A Name acknowledged as much.
