The Ethical Debating Society are a three-piece DIY punk, post-riot grrrl group from London, England. They have been described as "one of the most exciting DIY bands" in the UK.

The band was formed in 2009 by Tegan Christmas with Lauren Darling and Chris Morris. By 2010 Darling and Morris had left and Tegan continued with varying line ups until the group settled as Tegan with Eli Caballero and Kris Martin in 2013.

Following an appearance on Tuff Enuff Records’s debut compilation Why Diet When You Could Riot?, 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. A cassette/download EP on Tuff Enuff - "Hens Teeth" - followed in 2014.

In 2015, The Ethical Debating Society's debut album New Sense was released on Odd Box Records following audio and video previews, and received positive reviews from SoundsXP, Collapse Board, Louder Than War and others, with radio support including BBC Radio 6,Dandelion and Artrocker Radio.

The band have been likened to other dual male/female vocal DIY indie/punk bands such as Huggy Bear, Red Monkey, Comet Gain, Bis and Prolapse, as well as post-hardcore and indie rock bands such as Future of the Left, Sleater-Kinney, Nation of Ulysses, Pixies and Nirvana.
