Manifesto was an American rock band from Washington, D.C., United
States, featuring Michael Hampton (vocals, guitar, drum programming),
Bert Queiroz (bass) and Ivor Hanson (drums). It was formed in 1988 after
the demise of Hampton's previous short-lived bands, Embrace and One
Last Wish. The trio's recording debut was the 7-inch single "Burn",
released in 1988 on Skip Groff's Y&T Records. In 1992, they released
their self-titled and only studio album through British independent
record label Fire Records. The following year, shortly after their album
was released in the United States, Manifesto disbanded.
In contrast to the hardcore punk–indebted sound of Hampton's
previous bands, Manifesto features a poppier sound, taking influences
from guitar and jangle pop groups of the 1980s. As a result, the band
worked with producer John A. Rivers, who produced for various British
guitar pop bands such as Close Lobsters and the Pastels, on its debut
album.
