Anthrax’s covers EP, Anthems, will be released on March 19th. We’ve already had a chance to hear their take on Rush’s “Anthem,” and their cover of AC/DC’s “T.N.T.” is out there as well. Now their Thin Lizzy cover of “Jailbreak” is out as well. Like their Rush cover, it’s a faithful version of the song. No Thin Lizzy fan would be upset with this, or probably even be able to guess that it’s Anthrax, and aside from Rob Caggiano’s solo, there’s really nothing much to differentiate it from the original.
The track listing of Anthems is as follows:
1) “Anthem” (Rush)
2) “Jailbreak” (Thin Lizzy)
3) “TNT” (AC/DC)
4) “Smokin'” (Boston)
5) “Big Eyes” (Cheap Trick)
6) “Keep On Runnin'” (Journey)
7) “Crawl” (album version)
8) “Crawl” (special remix)
