(Classic Rock) Anthrax have released their cover version of Boston track Smokin'. It's taken from their covers EP Anthems, which also includes tracks originally recorded by Rush, Thin Lizzy, AC/DC, Cheap Trick and Journey.

Smokin' includes a keyboard solo by Fred Mandel after drummer Charlie Benante admitted none of the band could play the instrument well enough.

He recently told Music Radar: "You'll always hear Boston blasting out of our dressing rooms or our bus. It's one of those timeless records that doesn't have a bad track on it. It's almost like a greatest-hits album. When I hear it, I think back to being young, it's the summertime, and people are driving by in their cars crankin' Boston." Listen to the song here.
