Together they wrote songs such as Black Friday Rule and Devil's Dance Floor, which was the beginning of Flogging Molly's unique[citation needed] sound. Ted and Jeff then left Flogging Molly because an earlier band of theirs received a record deal. They continued a routine of playing every Monday night at Molly Malone's.
