SemiSonic had $500,000 in marketing put into them just to get their first single on the radio before ANYONE knew who they were.

bought the book and started reading it
you bald face lied about semisonic
500k was not spent before anyone knew who they were
they recorded their own demo album called pleasure
they had a development with cherrydisc which paid them back album in exchange for copyright and a future committement
cherrydisc spent a little money promoting them at the local level and they got radio play for some of their songs
the 500k you misrepresented as marketing before they were ever heard on the radio included buying out their old contract and paying cherrydisc (aka the 10 fold payback of the contract for every dollar they invested)
so it just another example of small promo, followed by big promo if you prove your worth again.
Your still zero examples of your made up story about record companies investing in
unknown acts.
