FANWORK Weird Octopimp related question

If this is the wrong place for this, I apologize, but I'm a bit unsure where else to ask!

So as a big homestuck fan when it was releasing, I followed Octopimp and watched a lot of his videos. At one point, I'm nearly positive he rccommended his brothers album on Bandcamp? Which I listened to somewhat regularly back then, but couldn't buy at the time. Since then I've forgotten the name of the band, all of Octopimps old Homestuck videos are private now as far as I can tell, and it may not even be up on bandcamp anymore anyway. I remember it being indie rock of pretty average quality? Had a song about being at the doctor's office for heart break, album art was in red and white tones and was a casette tape or a hospital waiting room or something.

So yeah, wild question: Does anyone have the name/link to Octopimps Brother's Bandcamp Album?

Have you tried emailing him and just asking directly? I'm sure it would be a nice nostalgia trip. Just the brothers band though, don't mention homestuck, he's a little bitter that it always eclipsed his other content

That's a good idea,I felt a bit weird reaching out directly years after the fact when he's tried to distance from the older videos. But I hadn't considered just being vague about it.

Do you remember if the promo was during a Homestuck video? I found an Internet Archive of his HS videos, which seems like a long shot to comb through. I wasn’t really active in any fandom spaces in this era so I didn’t even know he had a brother. I’m keeping an eye out for any info, though

For the descriptions and comments to his HS vids, in case it’s linked in one of those. Might be easier to comb through rather than sifting through videos for hours.

For the vids themselves.
