 Andy Andersson and Hardslug formed a new project called Hardslug (Hardslug dropped his nickname and pledged it to the band, reverting to James Harding once more) and released a 12 song album in late 2006.Six of the songs written by Harding were to originally appear on what was to be the 3rd Skulls studio album, but, when The Skulls split, were then carried over into the new band project.While Hardslug subsequently split due to other commitments, James Harding still records material as his hobby from time to time.
