Rufus combines a punk/pop style with exploding vocals, harmonies and lyrics that challenge, inspire, move and touch the youthful at heart. Rufus boldly go where many fear to tread and have gained the reputation for going flat-out and being full-on, delivering driving punk pop power infused with harmony, melody and message that touches the ears, gets stuck in your head and changes the heart.
