American punk icons X haven't released an album of new material since 'Hey Zeus!' in 1993. But that might change soon.

"Exene (Cervenka) and I actually wrote a couple songs," singer-bassist John Doe, who also works with the X singer (his ex-wife) in the Knitters, tells Billboard.com. "There are two or three songs we're going to do sooner or later. We might get another X record at some point."

But Doe quickly adds that in today's download-happy musical climate, "What's the point? People don't really release records in a traditional sense, so if we do it we'll probably just put it on the web site and people can download it. Maybe we'll get (the songs) into a TV show or something."
