The original lineup featured J.P. on guitar and Jamie on keyboards and came together after the brothers began playing with their father's instruments.
The group adapted their name from the punk rock band Live Skull, who had stayed at the Toulon house after a show in Madison.
Produced by both Vern Toulon and Robin Davies and engineered by future Garbage member Steve Marker, Get Outta School dealt with such wide-ranging topics as skateboarding, hot dogs, homelessness and the AIDS virus.
Due to the non-childlike subject matter in many of the songs, rumors persisted that Vern Toulon was actually ghostwriting much, if not all of the band's material.
The novelty of the act drew media attention from television shows like A Current Affair and publications such as Life, People and Newsweek.
After the release of Get Outta School, Jesse Collins-Davies left the band and was replaced by twelve-year-old Graham Lindsey.
In August 2005, the Toulon brothers, now in their mid-20s, reunited Old Skull for a one time show at CBGB's as an opening act for The Exploited, with J.P. returning to vocals and Jamie playing guitar.
They were joined onstage by Rik Smart, Mike House and John McClellan of the New York squat punk music scene.
J.P. Toulon moved to New York City where he began playing with Planned Collapse, a crust punk band based out of C-Squat, a communal squat located in the East Village of Manhattan.
Like his brother, he later moved to New York City and played in a punk band named Apox, which released an album titled Prevalence in 1998.
Clay Pigeon, a WFMU DJ who often records conversations with random NYC street people, included a fifteen-minute interview with Jamie on his August 26, 2010, broadcast.
In the interview, Jamie revealed that he was living on the streets of New York City and was battling an ongoing drug addiction.
