If you don't know already, Anthrax will be releasing the Anthems EP on March 22, which will be highlighted by cover versions of six of the band's favorite songs. A while back they debuted a very solid cover of Rush's "Anthem" and more recently a rendition of AC/DC's "T.N.T." that was a bit less successful, and today their version of Thin Lizzy's "Jailbreak" has surfaced online. The band doesn't try to do anything new, no attempt to put a unique spin on the track is made; instead, they faithfully hammer out the song like the fans they are, and you've got to admit they nail it. Listen to the cover below:
Here's the track listing for Anthems:

1. Anthem (Rush cover)
2. Jailbreak (Thin Lizzy cover)
3. TNT (AC/DC cover)
4. Smokin' (Boston cover)
5. Big Eyes (Cheap Trick cover)
6. Keep On Runnin' (Journey cover)
7. Crawl (album version)
8. Crawl (special remix)
