Rufio - Anybody Out There [2010] [Leak]

Much to my excitement, the pop-punk band Rufio reunited (kinda) back in 2009 after a 2 year break up. Their last album was released in 2005 and I felt a void when I discovered I wasn't getting a new one until now. In the 5 years they've been gone, the band has grown up and their sound has grown with them. The most notable difference is singer Scott Seller's deeper voice. Gone are the days of his unique, nasaly vocals, something that I suppose I will miss but hopefully it'll grow on me. The music has somewhat backtracked to the 1985 or Perhaps era though it still sounds different (as different as pop-punk can be). It feels less sophisticated than The Comfort of Home and more generic than most of their material. Halfway through my first listen I'm gonna say it's my least favorite album by then, but I won't give up on the record that easily. This band deserves more plays than one.

Rufio - MCMLXXXV (1985) [2003]

Any band that references Hook (great Robin Williams film or greatest Robin Willims film?) is good enough for me to check out, and once I did (well my brother showed me them but whatever) I loved them. It's very pop punky, but it also has technicality to it. Singer/lead guitarist Scott Summers has chops, and his quick playing comes off as an original breath of air to the scene. The band works together really well, and the music is really accessible while not being crappy and run-of-the-mill. They broke up a few years ago but just recently got back together (with new replacements) so I'm excited for the new stuff. Also, there's a kickass bass solo in Pirate. Awesome.
