split up, Henry Garfield changed his surname to Rollins and moved to Los Angeles as singer of Black Flag.

Along with Rites of Spring, Embrace is credited as a seminal emo group, however Ian Mackaye found the term "emocore" disgusting and did not accept the label.

In 1990 Hampton teamed up with Ivor Hanson and Bert Queiroz to form Manifesto who were influenced by the English music of the time.

They released one album and one 7" to critical acclaim in the UK, but records sales did not follow and soon Hampton's itchy feet made him leave.

Hampton lately performs in a band called Paco along with fellow members Dominique Durand, Andy Chase and Gary Maurer.
