The band's name is based on a deliberate misspelling of haruspex.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir 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 most recent Heiruspecs recording is the self-titled \"Heiruspecs,\" and was released on December 13, 2008. In November 2009, the band announced that they were working on a new album called \"We Are the Future.\"\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band is mostly known for their live performances. In contrast to many contemporary hip hop groups that use sampling and turntables, Heiruspecs emphasize a raw, live sound, their roots and local scene. They have also been known to do shows with Minnesota-local hip hop label Rhymesayers Entertainment. They have a very upbeat sound and are typically on tour for at least half of the year. The group style has been compared to the live hip hop band The Roots.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Heiruspecs","playStationPath":"/stations/117730199/play","stationId":117730199,"bioPath":"/music/Heiruspecs/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Immortal+Technique","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/6aa/6aadda8a178b9dbf0043ed5dd888bfa3_md.jpg","artistName":"Immortal Technique","artistId":11249,"station_id":113277011},{"musicPath":"/music/Louis+Logic","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/2f9/2f9983fbf32e33d2bb9ef1fd5fe52f6e_md.jpg","artistName":"Louis Logic","artistId":93683,"station_id":287827874},{"musicPath":"/music/Prof","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/503/503328c4545a5c9028cb915e48a32c29_md.jpg","artistName":"Prof","artistId":11452,"station_id":116087880},{"musicPath":"/music/One+Be+Lo","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/547/547099454bcb953ddd1297d7fcfd7e52_md.jpg","artistName":"One Be Lo","artistId":92783,"station_id":274371360},{"musicPath":"/music/Milo","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/32c/32cc749dbb364249619ae4e2a67edb4d_md.jpg","artistName":"Milo","artistId":451577,"station_id":401167637},{"musicPath":"/music/Ecid","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/a08/a0848f7011068743f3ba5021c4c138a9_md.jpg","artistName":"Ecid","artistId":127318,"station_id":284746709},{"musicPath":"/music/R+A+The+Rugged+Man","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ca5/ca5213cc9a2a7e84336f2d07cffd2f4c_md.jpg","artistName":"R.A.
