Rockland, Kate. "The Band They All Ache To Become", The New York Times, December 5, 2004. Accessed September 12, 2019. "The Bouncing Souls are true sons of New Jersey and have the tattoos to prove it.... Fifteen years ago, at Ridge High School in Basking Ridge, the Souls were just your typical sweet, pierced, rock 'n' roll outcasts. And because they were high school wretches -- honestly, aren't there any punks anywhere who were captain of the football team? -- they say it was satisfying to film their video 'Gone' (2001) in the halls of their old school."
