Garage Rock band The Woggles have release their new digital single “Love Tick” and announced the pre-order for their upcoming collection, Stop and Take A Minute, a set of B-sides and rarities spanning the band’s long-running career, set for release on May 8th, 2026 via Wicked Cool Records.

Written by frontman “The Professor” Mighty Manfred and guitarist Peter Greenberg (Barrence Whitfield & The Savages, The Lyres, DMZ), “Love Tick” was born out of a creative partnership that took shape during the pandemic.

Greenberg says:

Our bands touring together in the past built a friendship that led to us writing songs during the pandemic. ‘Love Tick’ tells the story of Manfred’s attraction to ladies worldwide.

The collection Stop and Take A Minute digs deep into The Woggles’ vault, gathering hard-to-find tracks, overlooked gems, and choice cuts. The album captures the breadth of a group that has spent more than three decades supporting real Rock ’n’ Roll.

The single also arrives as both The Woggles and Barrence Whitfield & The Savages prepare to hit the high seas for the Underground Garage Cruise (April 3–7, sailing from Miami to Cozumel).

Drawing from early Rock ’n’ Roll and R&B through ’60s Garage, Soul, and the British Invasion, The Woggles fuse vintage elements with their own singular sound. Having shared stages with legends like Johnny Cash, Link Wray, and The Zombies, their live shows continue to garner acclaim.
