Wounds has been out in the world since February, but Bay area hard-rock band Dagger is just now getting around to celebrating its release.

Last week, the quintet partied with Tampa fans and this week it headlines a free show in St. Petersburg where it’ll play a special brand of rock that can go from headbanging (“Coming Home”), to mosh-worthy (“Kiss and Choke”) and radio-ready (“twenty-sevens”) in a split second.

There’s no cover for the Dagger album release party at The Bends in St. Petersburg on Saturday, May 4.
