Grin & Bear It is The Ruts' 1980 second album and features a compilation of singles, B-sides and live performances.

The track "S.U.S" was an attack on a 1970's UK law under which the police were able to stop people on the street and arrest them 'on suspicion' of causing (or being about to commit) a crime. This came to be known-as the "Sus law" and was widely regarded in some areas as being used as a justification by the police for the harassment of the young and racial minorities. The law was eventually repealed.
