Heiruspecs (pronounced high-roo-spex) is a live rap/hip hop band based in St. Paul, Minnesota, specifically the Midway neighborhood. Their most recent album, 10 Years Strong, was released in December of 2007. It is a compilation of new and old songs, many taken from Live from the Studio and Antidisestablishmetabolism, both of which are now out-of-print. The band is mostly known for their live performances. In contrast to many contemporary hip hop groups that use sampling and turntable, Heiruspecs emphasize a raw, live sound, their roots and local scene. They have a very upbeat sound and are typically on tour for at least half of the year. History Heiruspecs formed in 1997 when the members were attending St. Paul Central High School. They met while taking a studio recording arts program. Sean (Twinkie Jiggles) would play bass while four or five drummers would rotate in and out of freestyle sessio
