Manifesto is an American rock band formed in Washington, DC, U.S. Featuring Michael Hampton (vocals, guitar, drum programming),[1] Bert Queiroz (bass) and Ivor Hanson (drums), the band was formed after the demise of Hampton's previous short-lived bands, Embrace and One-Last Wish. The band released its self-titled debut album in 1992, through British independent record label Fire Records. Following the album's release in the United States the following year, Manifesto disbanded.[2]
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.[2][3] 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.[2][4]
