Heiruspecs (/ˈhaɪ.ruˌspɛks/) is a live hip hop band based in the Midway neighborhood of Saint Paul, Minnesota. Their name is a deliberate misspelling of the word haruspex, which is a Roman term for a person trained to practice divination from the inspection of entrails.[2]
The band's first releases Live from the Studio, and Antidisestablishmetabolism are out-of-print, though a compilation featuring songs from them was released as 10 Years Strong in December 2007. Their self-titled album Heiruspecs was released on December 13, 2008. On April 22, 2014 the band released Night Falls.[3]
In contrast to many contemporary hip hop groups that use sampling and turntables, Heiruspecs emphasize a raw, live sound celebrating their roots, and local music scene, and are more known for their live performances than records. They do shows with Minnesota-local hip hop label Rhymesayers Entertainment, and the group's style has been compared to the live hip hop band The Roots. They have a very upbeat sound and at one point were typically on tour for at least half of the year.[4] The band has since stayed closer to the Twin Cities and band members have picked up day jobs.[5]
