Manifesto Records is an independent record label based in Los Angeles, California that has released records by Dead Kennedys, The Wedding Present, Tom Waits, Tim Buckley, Lilys, Concrete Blonde, Cranes (band), Sing-Sing (band), The Czars, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, The Rugburns, Cinerama (band), and others. Manifesto released the entire catalogue of Dead Kennedys in 2001 after the band obtained the rights from Alternative Tentacles. Manifesto is also the home of an imprint of Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan of The Turtles, called FloEdCo; this imprint has released albums by The Turtles and Flo & Eddie. In November 2015, Manifesto re-released the entire catalogue of Lee Michaels that had been on A & M Records.

Manifesto is headed by Evan Cohen, a music-business and copyright lawyer and nephew of Herb Cohen, the late former manager of Frank Zappa, Tim Buckley, Linda Ronstadt, Tom Waits, and others.

In August 2015, the label announced that it was signing several new artists, including Drinking Flowers, Cellars, and Band Aparte. [1]
