Rant is the fifth studio album by Sunderland-based indie rock band The Futureheads. It was released on 2 April 2012 in the United Kingdom, on the band's Nul Records. Unlike their four previous records, the disc was recorded entirely a cappella and features near to no instrumentation apart from vocals.
The release of the album was accompanied by an acoustic and a cappella UK tour, during which they notably opened for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The band went on a break following this tour, before reuniting in 2018, and releasing an album in 2019, Powers.
The band's cover of Sparks' "The No. 1 Song in Heaven", released in April 2012 as a single, peaked at number 55 on the UK Physical Singles Chart.
