Enter Shikari are the latest musicians to speak out against current Presidential candidate, Mitt Romney.

However, they're not Barack Obama's biggest fans either. The band recently spoke to NME, and didn't hesitate to label Obama as a liar - as well as calling Mitt Romney 'the most dangerous man in the world'.

They went on to say that they don't expect anything in the US to change, regardless of who gets elected. Rou Reynolds, singer and guitarist, spoke specifically against Romney.

He told NME, "I mean, with the US elections, I can't believe Mitt Romney is a possibility to run a country that size. Or any size. I'm not a supporter of Obama either. I got wrapped up in 'Obama fever' when he got elected and I was like, 'Real change is possible'."

Reynolds added, "I'm starting to realise that politics just repeats itself. People get elected. They lie. They say they're gonna do this, that they won't do that.

"One of the big Obama things for me is he was gonna close Guantanamo Bay but he hasn't done anything. And he's increased the foreign wars the US are leading, and introduced drone warfare, which is a new beast terrifying Pakistan. So many civilians killed."

Luckily, Obama isn't short of celebrity supporters - Katy Perry recently performed at a rallyfor the Democratic candidate.

The 'E.T.' singer took to the stage in a quirky latex dress which was designed to look like a ballot paper - with Obama's box filled in and competitor Mitt Romney's box left empty, showing her support for Obama.

Katy wore the dress during the rally, which was the America Forward Grassroots rally in Las Vegas, and she enouraged the American audience to 'vote early' for the upcoming November election.

She reportedly told the crowd: "Let's do this tomorrow. You know I got my poll outfit sorted okay, 'cause when I go to the polls in California it's gonna be on points. It's gonna be red white and blue, for you know who. So you better do it, or I'm going to come and get ya!"

She added: "Honestly, it's such an honour to be here on this stage, I'm so excited to be here on this stage and to hear [Obama] speak."
