The Killers have revealed that they have no problem with the fact that Mitt Romney named them as one of his favourite bands.

The Republican Presidential nominee listed the Las Vegas quintet when asked about his favourite music in an interview with Parade magazine earlier this week, but bassist Mark Stoermer told Rolling Stone that they don’t discriminate when it comes to their fans:

"Anyone's allowed to like us. If it's just about music, I guess it's not a negative thing.

"He's, I guess, a guy and he listens to music and happens to like us. That's fine."

The 35-year-old also admitted that the band would consider playing at The White House depending on the circumstances:

"We'd have to cross that bridge when we come to it. We're not really a political band. And we don't necessarily have all the same views, but none of us are very politically active anyway.

“I guess we would be open to it, depending on if and when it happens and what it was about."
