"Les Ailes" translates to (the) Wings
1) A heavy rock band from Utrecht, The Netherlands. In 2008 Alex Schenkels (vocals) and Sjoerd Albers (guitar) started jamming, bouncing ideas back and forth.

Soon a drummer and bass player, Elmer van Engelenburg and Harm-Pieter Hallema respectively, were found.
2) Les Ailes is a music project by American singer-songwriter Rylie DeGarmo, who moved to Nashville in 2016 to pursue music after cowriting an EP with her musician father (Chris, ex-Queensryche) at home in Seattle, eponymously titled “The Rue” (2015).
Over five years and five states later, the nomadic songbird returned to her hometown with a full-length debut record written in the south and recorded by Mike McCarthy (Spoon, Carson McHone). This LP, “Tennessee” (2021), is a tale of the many travels—both highways and heartstrings—that pushed Rylie to the south and held her there.
Reunited with her father in his home studio in the fall of 2021, Rylie brought a new batch of songs to Les Ailes in the form of a four-song EP titled “But I Love You” (2022). Of the EP, Rylie notes, “it’s a small portrait of the last 9 months, which for me were a coalescing of the home(s) I’ve left, returned to, and created within myself.”
