The Ethical Debating Society are a three-piece DIY punk/riot grrrl band[1] from London, England.[2]

Originally formed in 2009 by Tegan Christmas with Lauren and Chris,[3] Tegan continued the band with new members from 2010[4] and the line up settled as Tegan, Eli and Kris in 2013.[5]

Following an appearance on Tuff Enuff Records’s debut compilation Why Diet When You Could Riot?,[6] gigs with Shrag and Athens, Georgia’s Tunabunny led to a split single with London’s Skinny Girl Diet on Happy Happy Birthday To Me Records in 2013.[7][8][9] A cassette/download EP on Tuff Enuff - "Hens Teeth" - followed in 2014.[10]

The Ethical Debating Society's debut album New Sense was released on Odd Box Records in 2015 and received positive reviews at SoundsXP,[11] Collapse Board[12] and Louder Than War.[13]

The band have been likened to other dual male/female vocal DIY indie/punk bands such as Huggy Bear,[14] Red Monkey,[15] Bis[16] and Prolapse.[17]
