About Rufio
The Rancho Cucamonga, CA, pop-punk quartet Rufio is comprised of members Scott Sellers (guitar, vocals), Jon Berry (bass, vocals), Clark Domae (lead guitar), and Mike Jimenez (drums). Musically comparable to such early 21st century chart-toppers as blink-182 and Sum 41, Rufio issued their debut recording, Perhaps, I Suppose..., in 2001 on the Revelation Records label. The band returned in June 2003 with the well-received MCMLXXXV (1985) (released on the Nitro label), which was recorded with the aid of producer Nick Rasculinecz (Foo Fighters, Rancid), and went on to sell over 75,000 copies. Rufio further upped their profile with a series of Warped Tour dates that summer. The more mature The Comfort of Home appeared in July 2005, and by fall, the guys had joined up on tour with MxPx and Relient K. Berry amicably parted ways with the band in early 2006, and Rufio spent that March on the road with I Am the Avalanche supporting No Use for a Name. The next year, Rufio called it a day, playing their last shows together in June 2007. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide

Trompeta SIS |
| Be it the underground nature of dance music nowadays or a general inability to produce chart friendly tracks, but the six month decamp of the world's most hardened clubbers and DJ's to Ibiza doesn't seem to uncover as many cross-over records as it did a few years ago. However, despite nothing like Moloko's "Sing It Back" or Spiller's "Groove Jet" being unearthed this year, there has been plenty of exciting club tracks keeping the dance fraternity happy – the king of which has been SIS's "Trompeta". A favourite at Cocoon, which won "Best Ibiza Night" at the recent DJ Awards, and a staple in sets of Luciano and Ricardo Villalobos, who incidentally shared the award for "Best Ibiza Set" at the same awards show; “"Trompeta" has successfully burrowed its way into the minds of Ibiza holiday makers and now looks set to flourish with the season's close and the tracks official release. Taking a sizeable chunk from Balkan Beat Box's "Bulgarian Chicks" and coupling it with a clattering kick/ hi hat shuffle and speaker busting bottom end, "Trompeta's" repetitive Trumpet led hooks have made it an instantly memorable dance hit at odds to the thoughtful techno that often surrounds it on Ibiza's cooler club nights. However, like last year's dance cross over "Heater", this track quickly divides opinion as the simple hooks and general quirkiness of what makes the record appealing also makes it unpalatable to some clubbers and DJ's striving to stay on the cutting edge. Love it or hate it, this record has emerged as one of the most popular in the last six months. | |
