Eric Scott Melvin (born July 9, 1966) is an American musician and founding member of the punk rock band NOFX. Throughout the band's existence, he and Fat Mike were the only band members who stayed since the beginning.
Melvin sings backup vocals on most NOFX songs and wrote the guitar riffs for NOFX songs such as the intro for "Leave It Alone". His vocal style is iconically called the "Mel Yell".
He is also a founding member of Punk Rock Karaoke with Steve Soto and Greg Hetson, though he rarely performs with them. Melvin is an irregular touring member of Me First and the Gimme Gimmes playing bass when Fat Mike was not available.
Melvin also has his own solo punk rock/EDM project, going under the name Melvinator.
Personal life
Melvin is of Ukrainian and Jewish descent and grew up in Hollywood.
According to the band's autobiography, Melvin was engaged to the singer of a band that also played the Warped Tour in the late 1990s. While Melvin changed both the name of his former fiancee as well as her band for the book, it is heavily implied by all the other details - 1998's Warped Tour, her band being a ska band, bright red hair - to be Monique Powell of Save Ferris.
In 2016 Melvin married Australian-born artist Sarah Melvin. They have identical twin daughters together: Ivy Laine Melvin and Phaedra Rose Melvin, born 21 minutes apart. Melvin also has two boys, Eli Melvin and Caspian Melvin, and lives with his wife Sarah and all four children in the Encinitas area of Southern California. In 2017, he sold his home in San Francisco with some who viewed the home stating "This can't be a punk rocker's house. It's really tasteful."
Melvin was raised Jewish, but also relates to Buddhism & Taoism. He also practices meditation and yoga.
