Our media is western-centric, and isn't likely to pick up on a good band from outside Europe/North America, let alone a shit one. That's why you don't hear of many shitty Japanese bands.
Also, there is a certain amount of music snobbery that means that non-western music gets looked upon as being worthy of some kind of kudos simply because it is somehow "exotic".
